It's like £750 to £1500. Not exactly the fridge you buy if you're relying on a tip jar. You can buy one for £150. If I was in her 'alleged' dire straights I'd be going right to that tab at the top and listing from low to high.Good point. A Smeg is a rather FANCY purchase, isn’t it?
So over a £1000 for a Smeg fridge but at the start of lock down was asking for donations for the work she had lost?Hasn’t she thought about getting her fridge FIXED? Absolutely not as she’s got her begging bowl out with Smeg. What a chancer.
This is a gr8 case study of social capital and why not all living wages are made equal. Not that we can expect such an honest disclosure.Real subtle, Jack
OMFG. Like others I can't believe I just read that. So odd. I was considering this morning tweeting a famous person (Richard Osman) to ask him if he would do a random stranger a massive favour and send a Happy Birthday message for my mum as she's 70 at the end of this week and one of his biggest fans and isn't getting the lovely birthday we had planned for her, but a weird mish-mash of lockdown stuff that we think we can do. I shelved it, for now, because it seemed a bit odd and beggy and weird, though I am still tempted, but that is ANOTHER LEVEL. At least I was thinking of doing something to benefit someone else with my shameless tweet.Real subtle, Jack
Oh Flumps, that's not shameless at all; quite the opposite - a sweet and generous thought. The idea came from love for your mum because you know what a thrill it would give her!OMFG.

She’s from money so I imagine it’s a pretty standard considerationI'm not well off enough to even look at SMEG fridges, but why would she want one when they are (according to various sources) pretty small inside? Is it a brand thing, keeping up with the Joneses, or does she actually not require as much room as she would have us believe? Do not understand.
Thank you. You've reassured me a bit. Still struggling to phrase it in a way that doesn't sound completely creepy though.Oh Flumps, that's not shameless at all; quite the opposite - a sweet and generous thought. The idea came from love for your mum because you know what a thrill it would give her!
I’m still traumatised by that lasagne. That watery “sauce“ that just went right to the bottom of the pan. It came out looking like old leather.I came to these threads after the Daily Kitchen episodes. Have just downloaded and watched the infamous lasagne one. I have no words for that sauce (apart from the obvious ones)
I'm traumatised just reading about the foul stuff. Don't think I could stomach seeing it for real!I’m still traumatised by that lasagne. That watery “sauce“ that just went right to the bottom of the pan. It came out looking like old leather.
I have a Siemens* fridge freezer, which is so brilliant that when the freezer part died I bought a second hand one off ebay for £20 and cannibalised it for parts rather than buy a new one. Also, allowed me legitimately to take something electrical apart with screwdrivers which made my 8 year old inner self dance with joy.Smeg fridges are so small inside. My mate has one and she opened the freezer and i just laughed. What a sham.
