    Just my opinion, it's not written in stone.

    Yeah thats what I dont like about them - I like Kitchen worktops to be clean, and with granite you just cant tell if they are.

    I'm not a fan.

    The wood work surface can be sanded down and re-oiled when it starts to look tired, you can't do this with granate.

    You can also sand out the knife marks which are inevitable if you use the kitchen.

    Put I would say that granite looks great.
    Oh FFS!

    Are you retarded MonkeyBoy? Or is all that w4nking affecting your eyesight?

    The goose pimples and hardening of nipples associated with sudden coldness only serve to excite most men even more though.....

    Also grantie should always be nice and cool to the touch, which I personally quite like. I'm sure the wife would be telling me we need it heated after a couple of weeks though

    Use cardboard. Can be recycled and you can have a different design every day.

    So you spend a fortune on granite and you can't cut on it, can't put pans on it and spend the rest of your life being frightened to use it in case you scratch it.

    Be better with £50 worth of granite-look chipboard.

    I thought with granite you don't need chopping boards
    as you can't scratch the granite ?

    Milan.
    Au contraire, as I use knives with blades made from diamonds as big as your fist.

    Threaded.
