I got rid of my juicer on ebay and made a nice sum of money out of it.
But.....the buyer was a real witch who moaned that there were no instructions with it (not true) and then said it was broken! (also not true)

I wouldn't mind but all she had to do was take it out of the box and plug it it, only a halfwit would need instructions. I offered her a refund, which she didn't accept, she just left bad feedback instead. :mad:

I loved my old electric knife and when it finally conked out, I went straight down to Argos and bought a new one. Which I broke the first time I used it, trying to cut up a huge joint of frozen beef.

I have an ice cream maker that I have never used because all the recipies start: "a pint of cream..." which I never have, and even if I had I would not use it to make ice cream since there are better uses and a litre of ice cream is 72p (less than the cream) in ASDA, making it cheaper, easier and ready to eat in 15 minutes (return trip to buy it) if I decide we want ice cream.

I'm not sure why I bought the icecream maker, I think I thought you made it with milk.

That sounds like my Robert Carrier's cookbook. All his recipes are "Take a pint of cream, 12 eggs, 1lb of butter...........). They didn't seem to count calories in his day.

I have had my electric carving knife for over 30 years now! It was a wedding present and has been used for every joint of meat I've cooked since. I did think that I would get a new one a few years ago, and as barbie says, it was far less robust than my original - easy to see that on the first cut. So I returned it, and am still using the old one!
