They always have one in the foyer of Hampton Inns (and other similar chains) in the U.S. for when you get your complimentary brekkie.

They had them in the canteen at a couple of banks I worked for in The City and in some hotels I've stayed in too.

The problem with using them among Not Very Nice People is that the toasters take a long time to change temperature so NVNPs crank them right up or right down so everything comes out either charred or gently warmed.

I like this answer.

I am going to save this as a favourite.

Trust me ..... once you're over the half way to a century and one/two parents have plodded off .... you'll start to realise how that's just around the corner!

I put my bread in .... and stood rooted to the spot.... waiting. No chance for that mistake for me.

Going to have to google Rotary Toaster now, see if that means a conveyor belt one ....

I bought a pizza the other week in a pizza place that put the pizza on a conveyor belt to cook it.... once it reappears it's done and sliced/boxed; never seen that before, always seen pizza ovens before.

Rotary Toaster (according to google): http://www.jongor4hire.com/images/gallery/lrg-ck-rotary-toaster.jpg - that's what I meant by conveyor belt toaster. Having said that, if I'd not seen others use it I'd have not worked it out on my own .... or been too scared to, in case it didn't turn out to be a toaster at all, or something went wrong.

I suspect if someone nicked my brekkie the next thing he'd be saying is, "Ow, that really hurts".

In hotels my husband turns into an eating machine. He has a five course meal, or so.

I want to talk tv.


Can anyone tell me if there satalite provider has foreign language channels on it.

I know its not likely to get italian tv in uk, but french, spanish or german chanels would be good. (apparently' i speak no german whatsoever so means nowt to me)

vivatifosi

Sky has foreign channels on it. Give me five to finish watching the programme I'm looking at and I'll check which ones. Give them a call. You'd probably be able to get them on Sky freesat for a not too high investment.
