It's not an oven replacement, it is an oven; specifically a small worktop fan oven. For someone on their own or a couple they make a lot of sense.

Ours has a rotisserie attachment. Does a chicken or a small beef/ pork join superbly in about 1hr. Crispy outside , moist inside, far nicer than a big oven.

Had an air-fryer for years now, they're great... especially for oven chips. Got it from Costco for about £80.

Before this chips weren't great out of the traditional oven and wouldn't have a deep fat fryer as they stink the house out.

I've taken an air fryer on my last few UK holidays in caravans or on holiday parks. Especially when you're too tight to pay for/unable to book a room with a kitchen and combined with a coolbox, they're brilliant.

Mine was a £50 Costco special and the handles falling apart but it works really well. Here I am making bacon and sausage sarnies at Butlins a fortnight ago.

I've never understood whey they're described as a fryer - as you say, it's just a fan oven that can heat up very quickly because of its size.

Presumably it's to appeal to a group of people who deep fry everything.  I don't know if that's meant to be poor people or Scottish people.

 

Feasibly, also "Worktop Fan Oven" isn't exactly mellifluous for advertising. Persuading people to buy them in place of the chip pan or deep fryer is an easier marketing job, especially with everyone wanting to reduce fat content for the last 40 years.

I was doom scrolling fb earlier and half glanced at this and went "that's a fancy clutch... Why?" 

Then looked at it properly

Thought about something, all mk5 Cortinas these days wear a lie.

Back in the day most if not all had the orange part of their rear lights faded to near clear from the sun. 

Signs of the times, I guess

After 17 years, the song known as "The Most Mysterious Song On The Internet" has been identified.

If you've not heard of it before, the story goes that back in the 1980s someone in Germany recorded a few songs off the radio onto a mixtape, and on the tape was a song he didn't recognise. Nothing more was thought about it until around 2007, when someone found the tape and uploaded its contents to the Internet, including the unknown song. You would expect someone to know it straight away - but remarkably, even in the Internet age, no one could identify who the song was by, or what it was called.

This was until around two weeks ago, when someone researching some bands who had appeared at 80s music festivals in Germany contacted one of the bands and was sent some of their old material in response...and among said material was the mystery song!

And here it is.  (I especially like one comment that this song is the ultimate example of “I guess you guys aren't ready for that yet. But your kids are gonna love it.” 😆)

I kicked up a right stink in the Molten Brown shop at Gretna Gateway today. 
I knocked a diffuser bottle off the counter when paying. 3/4 of a full bottle all over the floor. Wasn’t one of their better fragrances either.

Can’t grumble at spoons tbh 

my local one is pretty good, cheapest one I’ve been to as well, food is adequate, drinks are cheap and it’s clean and relaxed

I like the way they re purpose nice historic buildings. Just a shame the chairman is a self-publicist.
