Hmmm, they'd be getting a visit from Mr Plod, shotgun not in the locked gun cabinet :eek:

Cloudbursts this morning, roads swimming, but nice and relaxed atm, DW off with GDs taking with her all the knick-knacks from Wednesday for them to rummage through. Nothing like starting them off young

Cooked Delia's braised red cabbage earlier, lovely crimbo smells

:rotfl: Spot the ones who've not been in advertising.

The handmade Esse stoves still made in Barnoldswick are meant to appeal to those who have a certain idyllic idea of country life.
They want those who aspire to the hunting, shooting, fishing fraternity. Hence the staged shot.

They're hardly going to point out how filthy dirty wood & other solid fuel fires make everywhere & what a pain in the butt they are to clear out & relay without getting black yourself. :rotfl:

I may not have been in advertising, but I used to get my class to deconstruct ads like that. Mags like 'Devon Life' are full of rich pickings.;)

Yes, it's definitely the aspirants not the practitioners they're targeting.

The practitioners are laughing. They probably have a beaten-up old Aga or Rayburn.....and it's quite likely they give their pheasants away.... to twits like me! :rotfl:

They all do it, Dave.
Stage a set without thinking through what they're showing.

I have a fancy that the apples (or spuds. It's hard to tell which) don't really need to be beside a fire & nor do flowers. Either the fire doesn't give out much heat or they haven't thought it through. Flowers would die pretty fast & fruit/veg will soon follow.

My favourite has to be



I might quite like walls & a roof before I worry about the fire :rotfl:

You lot are terrible. I want less choice, not more!

I told you I'd done my research. I already have the Esse brochure, but it'd be a gimmick for us. As beautiful as they look... We're already saddled with a modern gas fueled Rayburn in our previous house in Sheffield (now let to tenants). It cost the former owner £5000 in the 90s and a fortune to run/have switched on even before you used any fuel to cook and run the heating. In the end, we disconnected it from the CH system, having installed a modern oven and hob, got a combi boiler to run heating and hot water, and just used it as an alternative cooker when we had parties and at Christmas. We would have taken it out altogether but prospective tenants love it - although they never use it! It's just a status symbol. Not my cuppa tea.

What I meant was could you have the old Rayburn Royal that is in our bungalow do what the Esse does? y'see, I want that effect but for nothing!

That link picture is atrocious! The pic above is Clearview, I believe? What I want to say about this right now would be bleeped out by the swear checker

My journey from City lawyer to smallholder is turning me into a green anarchist (although, I was always anarchistic, which is why the Law didn't suit me )
