Very OT/ FOAK: Chopping Board recommendation?

No. Kitchen skills for beginners goes like this: Buy a half decent
chopping board, you pikey ****, so you're not pissing around 'sprinkling
a bit of water on a bit of kitchen roll to stick under your Ikea POS
every time you want to use it' HTH.

That's something of a relief.

They don't exist.

 

Interesting. Thanks for that.

No. *I* dumped *you*, you heartless bastard!

 

Me neither - as long as it's not at stupidly busy times like Sat/Sun
afternoons.

Plus, the Southampton & Bristol branches are both a lot better than
Neasden. I've never been to the Croydon one and don't intend to.

 

I *love* a good Cornish Pasty.

Hungry now.

 

The Southampton one is not bad. Just don't try the meatballs. Seriously.

They do however have a decent deal where you can buy coffee & a muffin for 70p.

I only know about the food so far, the kitchen hasn't arrived yet.

How pikey! If we need something to eat, we go into the place at the
top of John Lewis before traipsing round Ikea.

Ah, kitchens...

I'm not a fan of the Ikea range - we're getting quotes from John Lewis
and a local independent place.

<fx:holds onto hat>

 

Handy hint - if you get a B&Q trade account, you get an insane discount
on their kitchens - something like 60% last time I looked.

 

Mmmmm. Cornish pasty .

<Homer Simspn drool noise>

 

We've looked at B&Q[1] and they all seem pretty crap, to be honest.

[1] And Homebase, and Wickes...

 

I've done a couple & found them good for what they are (i.e. they fit
together properly), but yeah, if you don't want chipboard carcasses you
need to look elsewhere.

I'd rather go for the cheap carcasses & spend the extra on the
doors/handles/taps etc.

 

If I was doing it as a cheap(ish) replacement with a view to rent or
sell in the netx few years, I'd use that level of quality.

However, we've just moved in, don't plan to move for a good few years
and want a good quality kitchen. Whether we can afford a good quality
kitchen, however...

 

The Nottingham one is fine on a weekday evening on my way home from
work, but at the weekend it's a pit of dispair.

 

How the hell did 3000 Ikea tea light candles end up back at the house ?

If you like a good knife try these.

They're the carbon steel version of Opinel's great little kitchen knife.
Far nicer than any stainless blade but alas, quickly disappearing from
stores (even direct from Opinel).

I bought 8 (4 boxed pairs) last time I ordered. Hopefully they'll see me
out.
