Compo 10,328 Posted December 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 Don't know about carbon footprint but I left several muddy footprints on the kitchen floor when I dashed in wearing my wellies, to turn the gas off! The pan is now sitting in a concentrated solution of Sodium Hydroxide in an attempt to salvage it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

StephenFord 866 Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 Reminds me of the old gag about Japanese quality control. They write to their British customer, "We do not understand your British way of business, but since you specify maximum 5% defective parts we have enclosed these, packing them separately for your convenience." ! Mind you, if you were thinking of ditching those on the left, you can always put them in a jiffy bag and send them down to South Devon...they look OK to me! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
