Well..


There's safety in sandwiches Dazers


Though ASDA own brand ?34 is made by Sanyo


Though don't buy a Toyota


Oh yes ,they are made for going from A-B however, they are having trouble at B and ending up in Z


But then that's a car , not a microwave isn't it



Yes ....indeede




W**F

When I was growing up and we couldn't afford a microwave I thought they were the coolest things


When I moved out and got a job and still couldn't afford one it was still high up on my list


When I got one?. I realised how grim they were - got rid and never bothered again


Sometimes, when I'm being dim and forget to defrost something I will momentarily wish I had one - until I remember how grim the result was


Good riddance I say - save your money and get the decent steak again

My Gran had hers for so long I thought she might want to be buried with it.


As it was, she opted for one of those wicker basket-style eco-coffins.


One of the staff at 'The Crem' told me (after the curtains had closed etc) that, ironically, it took more gas to burn the 'eco' ones because the hardwood timber used in standard coffins help the combustion process along.


How we laughed!

I can't understand why microwaves are being dissed. For sure, you probably wouldn't want to cook your entire dinner in it. but I find them mighty useful for:


1. Cooking potatoes quickly which I can then chuck into what I am cooking on the stove. (Saves about 15 mins cooking time).

2. Reheating cups of tea/coffee that have gone cold.

3. Drinking chocolate. (Saves washing up the saucepan).

4. Quickest/best way to melt choclate for cooking (According to Nigella).

5. Reheating leftover cooked rice.


Etc etc

    • You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know. What worked?! I don't know enough about what you are talking about to comment, but "believing" you know the reason someone did something does not make it true. I don't believe that Corbyn ever got "starstruck" or "forgot about his politics", but if you can provide evidence that those things are true, then fair enough. I don't think you can, though.
    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand). 
    • Greg did an amazing job! He built a cabinet in my living room and added shelving. A lovely guy and perfectionist who goes the extra mile. He really understands what you want and comes up with various options to meet your price range. Would highly recommend!
    • I love the fact that virtually everyone held their hands out when furlough payments were made yet can't equate massive debt with massive cash payments to keep the economy ticking over.
