Toasters...

As we get older, many of us turn in to that special time when we can describe ourselves as Grumpy.

There are some things which do annoy me, maybe more than they should.

Todays annoying object is my Toaster. Well actually most toasters.

Mine is a perfectly normal inexpensive toaster. The brand is not important most toasters are pretty much the same. Millions of them are sold each year.

So why are they so useless?

The normal standard toaster was designed with one simple job in mind. To make toast. Well I don't know about you but I like my bread toasted all over. The standard toaster is not fit for purpose, the design clearly fails to take into consideration the size of a standard load of bread. Surely you have noticed that the toaster is too small for the bread? How are manufacturers allowed to sell a product that only does part of the job it was purchased to achieve?

It's not just me is it?

Yes I have clearly become a grumpy old man.
