Holy crap. You weren't kidding.
$449. On sale for $349.
http://www.davidjones.com/product/dualit-newgen-2-slice-toaster-20119674

I wonder if it actually toasts better than the $7.50 one?
There are people out there with plenty of money, they'll go and buy $4000 bedside tables then decide a few months later they don't like them.

$450 for a 2 slice toaster, that's ludicrous.
- Hand assembled in the UK, guess where they make their cheap models?
It starts with a 'C'.

Hi AC,

Do I ever kid? All my posts cover very serious matters.

"Holy crap. You weren't kidding.$449. On sale for $349." A real bargain! When does the sale end? Can you let ttbn know, he'll probably want to stock up with Chrissy pressies at that cheap price, he'll get em' out of next weeks pension.

"I wonder if it actually toasts better than the $7.50 one?" Nah, leave it in too long and you've got BURNT TOAST, spend the dosh and you'll get BURNT FINGERS.

WTF?

Even using ttbn's definition of slavery (which is not the definition commonly used for slavery) he is wrong.

In the United States, Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, South Carolina, and Texas do not pay wages for the vast majority of prison jobs.

The 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution allows slavery in prisons as a form of punishment.

Albanese lies again about Australia having sufficient laws to stop companies from importing goods made by forced labour or slaves.

It was revealed today that the legislation is 8 years old, and Australia is once again behind the times.

The U.S has the right laws. The EU is phasing them in, as are Canada and even Mexico.

Albanese Australia stays pigheaded.

WTF,

I don't invent meanings of words. I rely on dictionaries and Roget's Thesaurus.

I accept that you blindly follow the mischievous manipulation of language by your Leftist idols. I can't do anything about that, other than keep as many people who will listen aware of the social engineers’ weaponising of language.

I'll take your word on prison conditions in certain American states, although l have to say that prisoners do lose certain rights, and not all countries are as lenient as Australia is when it comes to criminality.

However, I say again, you are ignoring the fact that all the excuses you and your kind make for Communist China, and despite all your hatred of America, none of what you say means a thing on the issue of trade or the threatened tariff against the ageing spoilt child and extreme Left Albanese, who also likes to excuse Communist China, and who also hates America.

More than once I have tried to point out to you heroes of the Left that your protests and objections, your dragging up of everyone who you like to think of as a slave owner (except the Chinese: they are allowed to do anything they like) that the actual slave labour in China is irrelevant in itself. I don't give a damn about what China does behind its own borders to its own people. I obviously can't know, but I don't believe Donald Trump would either. It's about trade. It's about China acting badly. It's about the disgusting Albanese government being too gutless or shameless to pull its weight - again.

WTF?

ttbn is wrong again as usual.

The Oxford Dictionary, the Merriam-Webster Dictionary and the Collins Dictionary (to name just 3) all show that ttbn's definition is a incomplete and therefore wrong.

So just like another regular poster who usually gets it wrong, ttbn's appeal to authority fails and he finds out that his own source disagrees with him.

Also like another regular poster who usually gets it wrong, ttbn invents a position, attributives it to someone else and then argues against that position - he is effectively arguing against himself.

I suppose the logic is if ttbn is wrong twice that somehow makes him right.

Wow! Wonder who the "other regular poster" who also gets everything wrong is? The two of us have got WTF in a frenzy. I hope there's someone on hand to pat WTF on the back if he swallows his tongue. If they can get past the toys he is throwing out of his cot.
