Drive belt on mixer snapped. with a full half mixed load.

£2.45 and an hour later, that mix finished. At least I had not added the water when it when bang.

But if you had... what would you have done? Poured it for a marble cake effect? Added more water to limit damage? Turned it by hand? Given up and gone to the pub?

I would have to had resorted to the reason I use a mixer.

Backache. handballing a mix is no fun at my age.

When we went to buy an oven the salesman told me all the fancy features for slow cooking, cheesecakes, intermittent in oven grill for roasted items.

Then he turned to Stu and said 'and sir, this button means it cooks your shop bought pizza perfectly, crispy on the bottom, not burnt on top.'

He'd actually got it exactly right as to Stuart's culinary capabilities.

Me

I've driven up your house contents insurance by making a claim.
I'm actually impressed. Sent photo of damage to the insurer with the electronic claim notification and evidence of the menu pricing for the repair, they rang back and said "Fine, you'll have the money paid into your bank by Monday"

My proper gripe: Nicky Morgan

Cast aside her horrible squirming and misleading BBC QT performance. If you thought Michael Gove was a nasty Education Secretary then think again. In one week Nicky Morgan has been in the driving seat when every remaining state run school has been told they will have no choice. They will have all their funds handed to private enterprise and publicly accountable bodies will no longer deliver education. But to better that, she then announces that parents of students will have no say in the running of their schools. Parent governors will no longer exist.
In one week all public accountability for schools in England has been removed. No national curriculum, no national pay arrangements, no accountability.

How undemocratic.
But at least we get a referendum on Europe.
