What's the matter with it?

The temperature switch goes round and nothing happens.

It is about 10 years old and gets a lot of use.

Plus modern ovens are more efficient and easier to keep clean.

10 years old. Bin it unless the wife is attached to it like you said modern ovens are more efficient and easier to keep clean

I didn't marry her for cooking skills.

Really?

Bin it IF the wife is attached to it - a strong chain should do the trick

New oven ordered delivery 16th Dec.

Electrician sorted and good old Mum is helping with the cost.

It will be the resting place of a 16lb capon on the 25th.

Both of my daughters are working until about 5pm so it will be a seafood feast until they arrive home.

Takeaway Pizza last night and micro chips with bacon//beans/egg tonight..

We do have a bread maker and the eldest is a sous chef who does a leek and spud soup to die for.

My daughters arrived home with a bloody great Xmas tree...it is feeling Xmas bah humbug.

The plan is to sell the main home and keep the bungalow on rent and buy in North North Norfolk.

Boat / Shrimping and a freelancing bit looks good.The only trouble is my Mum....sister is oop North.

My mothers sisters went to Aussie or US leaving us stuck in Suffolk.

I admire Declan May be a Double deckecker for all of us in a nice Dorset location to concentrate on coins/publications.

Don't forget you are dead for a long time..

I must say though Peter, now I've got such luxuries as hot running water, I wouldn't be without them again. Certain things I'll never get back into, like TV, but certain things I just have to have now!

brrrr....chilly memories!

Wot, no Inspector Montalbano? The only thing that chases away the winter blues, all that lovely Sicilian sunshine.

Haha - make that Glenmorangie, or Barbados Rum, or Smirnoff ... and you're talking

[Peter 615]

Barbados rum....you must be talking Dorleys.

If I am going to have a spirit I pay to get the best.
