Unfortunately my toaster has decided to give up the ghost, so plans for a cheese toastie went west ! I was looking on JL website and saw these -
Gorgeous - but the price !
It’ll be Argos for me unless I get the lotto up !

I’ve looked on the Argos website and can only see their own make Cookworks that have the sort of toaster I want. Will give that one a miss I think so the search continues.
Noticed they sell another hideous toaster which has a sort of bubble attached that you stick beans in !
Who knew !
It looks like the prototype for Richard Branson’s spaceship ?

Infinity2 for many years we had a Tefal toaster that you could boil or poach your breakfast egg at the same time. It was great, but it died last Thursday. After 2 days of DH mentioning how much gas it took to toast one s1ice of bread we got a Breville toaster on Saturday, on offer at Argos, for £19.99. Wide slots, takes a full slice of bread and toasts to perfection on 3.

Thank you Mollygo, I must have missed seeing that one as I was dazzled by the one with the bean attachment. Am looking now as I’m suffering from cheese toastie deprivation.

We have a De Longhi 4-slice toaster, it does bagels and burger buns too. Really good, cost about £50 nowadays.

I do love to see, and laugh, at how the other half live. Money does not always equate with good taste.

To my previous post, Oh well each to their own.

Come on you Red Dwarf fans, it’s obviously a posh Talkie Toaster!! I actually love it! I would never spend that amount on a toaster but I really do like it!

Nothing posh about it, just expensive.

As for the shoes. I always reckon if a garment(including shoes) has to advertise who made it, then it is the antithesis of quality. Really good shoes and clothes, give their quality away by their cut and look, they do not need visible names and logos.

I like it too, it's fun! but didn't like to say ?
Is there a matching kettle?

I wouldn't buy it, though, even if it was £50 because it wouldn't go with my kitchen.

I'm just not very daring.
