To want to throttle Aga owners

[Cleggy36]

when they go on about how lovely and warm their kitchens are at this time of year. FFS, if I left the electric oven on 24/7 in my kitchen it would be lovely and warm, but would people be saying "ooh have you been to Cleggy's house, his kitchen's really cosy"? No. They'd be saying "have you heard about that idiot cleggy, he leaves his oven on all night to heat his kitchen."

It's the same thing. Except that my fuels bills would probably still be smaller. Here endeth the rant.

Fuck off.

My mum has an Aga*, and nobody disses(?) my mum.

And her kitchen's really cosy.

(*It's actually a Rayburn.)

:o You've convinced me.

Class envy is an ugly phenomenon.

their kitchens are too big

I have an Aga but I don't think I boast about it being lovely and cosy.
That would be tasteless and vulgar - like boasting about the lovely view from my kitchen window, for example .

class envy is awesome.

there's something so sickening about the British insistence that poor people should just be happy with the shit they are left with after the rich have looted the country of everything they can get away with.

Maybe offer to put them in their Aga so they can try out the heat first hand?

I want an Aga They look like so much fun!

My mum had a coal-fired Rayburn. It was just wonderful. I used to lean against it in winter, cuddling up with the dog and the cat and keep warm in our - otherwise - freezing house. I'd love an Aga, why not?

I wouldn't have one if you paid me. If you have a smallish/normal size you have to live on salad in the summer because your house roasts when you put a pizza in the oven.

Correct response: gosh what do you do in the summer? It must be baking!

excellent OP.
I do love Agas but they are, er, not awfully fuel-efficient when you think about it.

surely someone can invent an Aga-y sort of thing that doesn't let out so much heat so you could have the 'oven on all the time' thing but without so much heat warming your kitchen being wasted.

skidoodly - yes, you're quite right...the poor/"disadvantaged" people have been "deprived" of stuff by the "privileged", right?

Surplus-value theory alive and kicking in 2010? I salute your persistence, whilst pitying your chippiness.

I'd give everyone a fixed amount of fuel each week and say "There you go, you choose - you can put it in the Aga or the car." There'd be a pile a scrap iron from here to the bloody Dordogne.

depends on the stuff.
designer handbags - they can always make more.
land, or sea views - supply is more limited.

Agas are very pretty though. Cream is lovely followed by green. I would go for cream, except I wouldn't, but if I had to, I would have cream.

Barmy do you have an AGa and what about in the summer. It must be baking.

Appletrees - no, we don't have an Aga.

ahah you are being Voltaire

I do not have an aga but I defend to the death people's right to have an aga

I would like an Aga frontage with a stoves double oven behind

and a fireplace in the kitchen, that would be best of all

YABU
I've got an Aga!
I've got a f*-off massive kitchen too, but it does get too hot in summer.
I'm not rich though, my car is rubbish.

I have a Chav aga. Its a pink double size range cooker by 'Stoves'.

It is beautiful and duel fuel.

But awfully vulgar.

But then so am I (vulgar, not duel fuel)

You would be much richer if you didn't need an oil tanker permanently based out side your house.

sounds great but pink? did you have a moment?

Cleggy I think you've gone completely mad, no idea what you're talking about

i like the sound of the stoves range but I bet it's expensive

Have you heard of "gas", Cleggy? It's quite good, saves on oil tankers.

tfMDV A pink one!!!! have you got a pic?!

Mine is green. And filthy (= posh a la Rachel Johnson).

"Cleggy I think you've gone completely mad, no idea what you're talking about" Should have stopped after the OP.

Stoves range cookers are excellent, although I would have thought that a pink one would somewhat restrict your colour scheme.
