It's essentially just a vehicle for delivering melted butter into the mouth. If you don't like toast, you've probably got the wrong butter. Or you don't like butter, which is even weirder. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not wrong, but I find the biggest smokers nowadays, to my eyes, seem to be young women. Certainly at my workplace - the smoking areas are (or were, as its been nearly 2 years since the office was busy) were full of women under 30. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked up the reviews online for some sort of gauge, 90% said brilliant, 10% said crap, only toasts one side. Bought the toaster. Only toasts one side. Its not a chrome Tefal 4-slice one is it? I had one about 10 years ago... took ages to toast and only did one side. Gave it away. Not had a toaster since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Going back to smoking, I was never a smoker when I was a teenager. Started to become a social smoker in my early 20's... back in the days where you could smoke in pubs and clubs. I'd buy packs from the machines you had in places like Snobs or the Dome. Usually Marlboro. Started with red, but they gave me a terrible next morning cough, moved on lights and then finally menthols. By the end of the night by clothes would absolutely reek of smoke, not just from me, but from the venue itself. Never felt the need to smoke sober though and usually ended up with loads of half smoked boxes on my desk at home. Ended up chucking loads away. I stopped for years but started again when I used to go on lads holidays. It was cigars this time though. Can't beat a holiday beer and cigar in an exotic nightclub. Also if you go outside with a cigar, it was always a good conversation starter. Sounds weird to write it down, but at the time it felt right. Anyway, haven't smoked anything in years.

sidcow Posted January 10, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted January 10, 2022 Our current toaster is the most expensive toaster we've ever bought and only does one side. I wanted a bagel option so I could do Crumpets bubble side only. It also won't take a lot of slices as they are too long. Next time I **** the bagel option and buy something half the price.

Ingram85 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 I swear all toasters are now designed to not toast to the edges anymore. It’s just kind of the middle bit and a bit close to the edges. Either bread slices have gotten bigger or toasters have gotten crapper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most are made to a price point now using cheaper components in China. You need to find one that isn't made there, or made with parts form there (and assembled somewhere else) How about these? You pay the price though! https://www.dualit.com/products/classic-toasters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
