    I've just noticed on another forum that someone in those halls is bringing a George Forman grill with them to cook with - sounds like a great idea and I think there are many things that can be cooked on them.

    Can you cook fishfingers on a George? He eats about 30 a week... :D

    I have a George that I never use.

    You can cook fishfingers in a toaster bag in an electric toaster. Well I do and it works fine.

    It is a shame he didn't get what he wanted but I think he will probably love it when he gets there. Two of mine were in self catered halls and one in a part catered, he found it easier to budget but maybe that was just him.

    I spoke to the accommodation people today and she was really nice.
