Wasn't made in India was it? 

You need to get over your weird biases. India is not China, totally different mindset. They produce a lot of stuff, including 90% of the worlds measles vaccine.

Most people would consider a £2800 Rangemaster a decent appliance. Chefs all choose gas because it is quite simply better so you mate can feck right off!

I'm not most people.. I have a certain modicum of taste as well as enough style not to bring up the value of something that I buy as if that's somehow impressive. Chefs don't use gas for any other reason than everything they do is done with a budget in mind. in other words as cheaply as possible.

Also France would probably collapse in upon itself if its Michelin chefs were forced to give up their fetish for copper pans. And where France leads.. the sheep follow.

so ner.

Gas is so last century.

I bet you slave over a twin tub and pine for the good old days when washers were proper like and had a built in Mangle.

Calling someone else cheap is well… cheap.

I don’t suffer the old fashioned oddness of being funny about money, I simply corrected your bollocks about me buying cheap crap and/or not reading instructions. 

Chefs use it because it’s instant and easier to control than other heat sources and is more versatile regarding what you can use to cook on it so you’re wrong about that too.

Nope. They use it because they're neanderthals.

gas is not instant.. and not as controllable as induction.

Actually no. I've been down to Cotswold to stock up on fuel for my next little excursion. And Ive come home to the glad tidings that an item that was delivered today. has been despatched again. so.. Im about to be overrun by dual fuel stoves.  Oh frabjous day.

I feel a theme coming on.

Connected?

Its sat on my counter in the kitchen having been tested by making a pot of espresso.  It arrived. I needed fuel to fill it, so went to Cotswold for that.

came home. and as I was drinking said espresso. (actually a Caffè Americano) An email arrived to tell me that the cooker I just used has been despatched and here is the tracking number.

why have one when you can have two? or maybe its buy one get one free. who knows?

Let me consult my associate @Six30 for his opinion on the engineering expertise of Indians?

It’s a world leader in vaccines. Contributes more to the United Nations peace keeping forces than any other country (apart from the US) and is poised to become an IT superpower. Its science and technology departments are right up with some of the best to the extent they’re about to enter into space missions. 

They are the worlds second largest food producer.

Unlike a lot of countries they have a very young population which increases productivity and has obvious economic benefits.

Whatever their image of old is that’s not who they are. Colonialism died a very very long time ago and they been moving forward fast.

They even reckon India could become a world superpower, their economy is growing fast, it has overtaken the UK and become the 5th largest economy.  

And English is a common second language with  over 150 million people fluent, second only to the United States! So they have no barrier to global trade due to language barriers.

You cook with what you gave, but you need to be a twat to prefer electric anything over gas on a stove.

My incinerator did an excellent job today. All the stuff I needed to dispose of today is long gone.

You have an incinerator??? That's mega!!

She’s home, they were worried she’d had a stroke but more likely an inner ear infection (meniers disease)

No high blood pressure, heart is good and good chest X-ray ( I asked if her boobs got in the way ) so all good there .

She’s waiting to be referred to Ear/nose/ throat hospital.

Just go call me nurse Bob this week

 

 

well I ain't going to call you nurse, but I'm glad to hear she's home and it not as seriousas it might have been.  Hospital in the UK is probably not the best place to be just now.

Difficult to pine over something you weren’t born in time to see or use. Just how old are you?

Shit day today.  One of my colleagues, who worked with mw for 6 years on the boats  and who I now work with again, buried his daughter this morning.  She was born malformed ( massively handicapped) but leved to 28. Died last thursday, I didn't ask what of, and the funeral was today. about 10 of us went from work, including the company owner.

I was an instant convert. place I worked at a few years back had adults with fairly extreme autism, one side effect being they had no sense of danger. The kitchen wasn't off limits, but it had several safety features built in. One of these was a very nice induction hob, which as they don't get (burning) hot is fairly safe. And as I had to use it as part of my job. well I found it to be absolutely fantastic. When the gas oven on my own cooker failed. it was a no-brainer. I will never have another gas cooker. neither a gas hob, or gas oven. It would be a big step backwards.

just as I could never buy another manual transmission bike after riding a DCT for 4 years.

or unblock the forum troll.

these would all be backward steps.

And im not bothered by insults... though it is disturbing to me how so many members of this forum are starting to sound just like six30.

try to be more imaginative with the insults.. he simply can't be, but the rest of you should do better. I think you should all take a leaf out of  Bucksters compendium of insults... so imaginative and endlessly entertaining.  For example describing a shapeless lump of rock that might have a cave/dwelling in it as a dago midget bum palace.

truly marvellous.

So far today you’ve pretty much called me cheap, too stupid to read instructions, tasteless for saying what oven I bought and lumped me in with the neanderthals none of which is particularly imaginative so maybe take a little bit of your own advice.

Sometimes “fuck off” and “twat” suits a situation.

And there was me thinking you had a sense of humour. or a sense of the ridiculous. has close contact with the forum troll really made you so sensitive? really?

Do you honestly think I would talk in this way to you if I was even remotely serious. Given our... erm, history of interaction.

I wouldn't. I would say precisely NOTHING.
