Ah, I wondered what that rustling was in the night. Unusually erudite and gin-soaked mice, evidently.

My thought for the day, a thing I have just learned - The word ‘palindrome’ is not a palindrome, however, the phobia of palindromes ‘aibohphobia’ is a palindrome.
I really like that. Imagine having aibohphobia and needing to tell someone that you have it.

I feel that it is probably a rare condition. Very rare.

The dead Great Beast has been removed for repair.
I remain unimpressed, though if it is indeed sent back in working order and within a reasonable time I may allow them a little leeway.

Pity they couldn’t build it not to break in the first place. This is the third major failure in a bit over two years.

Twellies, I do not blame the virus for its having had to be repaired three times during its guarantee period. That is the fault of the manufacturers, not the virus.

I too would be fuming about such a nexpensive well thought of machine breaking so often

Can they repair a design fault, Fishy? It might be time for a full refund.
I love Kenwood products, but am not keen on ever more plastic to break orff & Bugga up a good machine.

Is it a design fault?

The trouble now is that the faulty machine may be mended, but the guarantee will not run for five years from its mending or replacement; so in effect I now have a two-year guarantee on a machine which should have a five-year one, and which cost us hundreds of pounds more than the closest alternative – which we paid because we expected it to do the job and last at least five years, not stop doing the job after three.
Bosch have a 30-year guarantee on the engines of their food processors…

I feel guilty now as I extolled the virtues of Kenwood to you…

This time, Carinthia, it is the engine, running slowly and intermittently and with a nasty graunching noise. This should not happen, to my mind. The previous times have both been the handles and bowl; losing their integrity so that the safety catches no longer caught and the machine wouldn’t work, on the first occasion (new bowl sent without comment), and the handle breaking into sharp plastic shards on the second occasion (“never heard of that happening!” – which implied, to me, that she was expecting the previous fault: indeed she specifically asked whether it was the previous fault, so that is poor design.)
Twellies, you definitely were not the only person who said they were great; do not feel guilty about having done so.
