Not really a grumble, more like a wail of horror: the missus's brand-new Kenwood mixer, a £650 present from the Inlaw Paw, crept off the worktop while her back was turned and crashed onto the tiled floor.
All due credit, the casing didn't crack, in fact nothing broke and it still works, almost; but the top no longer snugs all the way down into the latch and is liable to swing up under load. It'd make you weep.
Come Tuesday we'll be onto the service centre, but we're expecting a biggish bill. OTOH a mixer that costly shouldn't creep off a dead level surface, should it?
