Doubt it. They’ve pallets of them at 10p in Tesco here.By which time they'll all be gone
I tried one (well they’re 10p and mince pies had sold out!) and they taste like sh1t. Hope Blobber has a better experience than I do!

Picked up this old electric fire from a mate, cast iron and enamel and the same as the one i used to make toast on in the backroom when I was a kid, made locally by Revo.

It never occurred to me until now that B.S. could also stand for something like perhaps British Standard.
Nice piece, looks dangerous

We need a
I want button.
My gran had something similar. That and an electric blanket was plugged into a 15amp wall socket.
Then like an old auto eject kettle lead they would be fired out.

Or in general.
I say their own bread mix is better to make bread to toast.

Much I need. Many item I would want. Many I like.Perhaps a Moderator can change your avatar name to " I Want ! "
Some I do not like, or want or need.
Just something brings back a good memory

Yeah, I also find that some of the old things I remember while growing up bring back good memories.

I acquired a look at and test run with an Arboga U2508 milling machine today.
All eight speeds run perfectly (100-2,900rpm - what a range without having to touch a belt).
When measuring the runout at the end of the quill, I first thought I wasn't measuring at all until I swapped the 0.01 for a 0.001 clock, then the pointer shook a little.
Now I'm having a hard time thinking ....
Are Arboga machines (Sweden) widespread or even known among you?
Have a nice evening

I've never seen a mill but Arboga drills pop up from time to time, usually command a bit of a premium but they look very well built.

It is really more a Mill/Drill, only for relatively light milling.

I have an Arboga pillar drill, they don't look much but are beautiful machines, I was after one for years and then one came up on eBay and I got it. It arrived in bits, I had paid for it to be put on two pallets lying down, it arrived lying down right enough but that was because it was originally standing on one pallet and the plastic binding had snapped. I emailed the seller (a machine dealer) , sent pics etc and he refunded in full and told me to scrap it, I managed to repair it so I was happy
