Sounds like the people I bought some oven kits over a few weeks ago. Wasn't over-priced, I needed some mits and had been looking for some nice ones for a while so I was very happy he came to the door. Shame that it wasn't doing The good I thought it was but I'd have bought the mits whether it was for a good cause or not. Not nice to hear that others have been intimidated by them - glad I liked his spotted oven mits!
