[electrogram]

I was using one until 3-4 years ago, dating from about 1ô85 I think, element looked a bit like one from an electric fire but smaller diameter. Latterly it had recurrent problems with switch contacts, I think that is why I stopped using it. A couple of of years ago I bought another at a car boot sale for 50p ,this one was a trendy beige/brown colour, still haven't tried it, the other one was white with grey square pattern. Currently using a modern(ish) maybe 20yrs old Morphy Richards. I have a 1960s green Morphy Richards which I hope to get going sometime, bought at a car boot sale, the cable had been cut off. No worries about rambling on about toast, it's important!
