    Sorry, I'm in a stupid mood - WAY too much Xmas port getting drank over here tonight
    Oh the house is long gone. I rented a 6 bedroom farm in Suffolk, 40 acres of land (the hay paid for the rent so I lived there for free). Came with an Aga, it's own half submerged 18th century church and a private lake for fishing. Nobody told us about the 20,000 geese that arrived every year and didn't shut up all night. you could hear the noise 5 miles away. What was that about a shotgun license...

    The house came with it, so I didn't have a choice, but after a year, I gave up and got a catering-quality, gas range cooker. The AGA still sulks in the corner, heating up the kitchen needlessly (I'd turn the fecker off but wife dries clothes on it!).

    Never mind the bi-annual servicing costs (if you can get the AGA/Rayburn-approved c^nts to turn out in the first place) and the cost of the huge lake of oil the monster consumes in a year.

    AGAs are more of a lifestyle statement than a cooking device. There are some pathetic souls who are so devoted to the AGA cult that they even make toast on it using a special £££ toasting accessory. Tossers!

    AGAs to room 101 NOW!

    Yeah, I had one too that came with the house. Total waste of time for cooking unless you're into slow roasts. Too hot in the summer too because you can't turn the thing off ffs.

    Like the one in Aqa you mean. That'd be a decent swap, and the latter can also keep you warm at night.

    No you are thinking of the classic

    Agadoo-doo-doo, push pineapple, shake the tree,
    Agadoo-doo-doo, push pineapple, grind coffee,
    To the left, to the right, jump up and down and to the knees,
    Come and dance every night, sing with the hula melody.

    Sorry wrong thread - try this one http://forums.contractoruk.com/showp...49&postcount=3

    They aren't on t'internet - it's all done by phone.

    You text a question to 63336 and they text the answer back. I was just more interested in how it worked - its a very cool service...stopping many a late night fight
