Why is it that large electrical retailers fail to carry virtually any stock of built in ovens. At 5.00pm today mine decided to die on me. After a two hour search in just about every Currys and Comet within 10 miles of my home plus a few other retailers all gave exactly the same story. “We can have delivered for the end of the week”. I just wanted to take one away with me so I could use it this evening but no.

So if they were going to have to deliver it anyway I decided to buy one online and save myself the best part of £100 and earn myself a few air miles points in the process. Fish and Chips were called for, my new cooker arrives on Friday so it looks like I will be eating out for the next couple of days.
