Oh I certainly understood your references, which I found offensive. It's no wonder regulars are staying away. And no, no problem with welcoming newbies, everyone should be made welcome. My surprise was at the OP reference to a fried chicken forum but I guess theres one for virtually every subject nowadays. I will not get in further discussion with you on this.

Really? Is is necessary?

Welcome, can't believe there's a fried chicken forum!

Thanks always wanted to try their sweet shop.

Having read this thread, here's my twopeneth - I come here for one reason only & that's to read equipment reviews, see how people's coffee journey is going, read reviews of various beans & roasters etc - NOT for a political debate. If was interested in debating politics or freedom of speech then I'm sure there's a forum for it. This is the type of thread that is ruining this forum - come on guys, let's back to what we all came here for!

I ended up replacing the cable, element, gaskets and switch lol, my theory was that if I replaced them all then they should work! As Dave says though check the terminals first. The good news is that they're really easy to work on.

Had a similar problem a few months ago & it turned out that the mains cable had burnt out inside so I had to replace it - got our electrician to do it as I'm not good with electrics.

No, gilbodavid. At time of asking to view he only has 4 posts. My understanding is that you need 5 posts plus to access the sales.forum

Again! How is someone with only 4 posts able to access the sales forum? Are there no rules anymore?

How is someone able to access the sales forum without any posts? ( sorry for dis-railing)

Exactly this. There's too many comparisons to make to draw a conclusion, but I'd much rather a) buy from a local supplier and b) buy a product that either lasts or is quality. 90% of the time you'll end up with better customer service too.

I've not long signed up for a recurring monthly subscription with Craft House, which is for their a KG of their single origin, cost? £22pm delivered. IMO from a quality roaster this is fantastic option.

If you want free shipping then I suggest you go & buy your coffee at a supermarket @Coffee Fan Guy 95% of people here will support a roaster of their choice, and has been said will increase their order to gain free shipping so both parties win. Stop aggravating people.

A trip to sainsburys (or local baker) who both sell Union. No way Jose drinking instant.
