TOASTER

Last March I bought a toaster from Tesco made by Breville. It had 4 slots. From the start it never worked properly because one side of each slice was toasted more than the other side. A simple visual inspection revealed that this was because the wires on one side of each slot got lighter (=hotter) than the other. For heavens sake it can't be all that difficult to make a toaster so that all the wires heat up equally? Breville sounds a bit Italian so perhaps this is something the I-ties can't manage. Anyway about three weeks ago the 2 leftmost slots failed totally and last week the whole caboodle stopped working. This toaster sold by Tesco and made by Breville stopped working after less than 4 months use. For goodness sake this is a toaster not a mobile phone or something complicated. The Inquisition were toasting people 300 years ago. I have to say Tesco promptly replaced the machine but if Breville make cars I must remember not to buy one. By the way if "Breville" is just a fancy pseudonym of some UK company that would explain it. We no longer teach physics, mathematics and classics properly but everybody is into media studies and the like. Hence no decent engineers.
