The chopping is because, the pans mean you only use a quarter of the food you normally would to feed three times as many people as usual. The chopping enables this illusion.

Immortal, you say painted?

Was there actually a bit with loaves and fishes?

There was some elderly salmon gently steamed until it took on the texture of hoof. It tasted like sadness feels.

Did you drool "mmmmmmmmmmmm hoof" like homer simpson?

Why thankyou. The pans seem to have had a strange amnesia inducing effect on me. I'm having flashbacks to food crimes, almost like my subconscious had tried to black them out. Or maybe I have Teflon poisoning like pan lady claimed.

geraldine if you aren't a writer of hugely successful comic novels, really you should change your job.

Norks, i would blush but my sympathetic nervous system is ruined from 28 years of absorbing heavy metals dissolved in my food from substandard cookware. Allegedly.

I know that this seems to go on and on, but despite six no! Texts from me, pan lady left me a message whilst I was watching Harry Potter: "Geraldine, I know you are a lady who likes a healthy eating lifestyle system and to keep your children safe. Therefore how can you not pay £1.27 a day for four years (excluding deposit) to ensure your families good health. Get back to me IMMEDIATELY. Pan lady" is she right? Or threatening?

She's harrassing you now.

You need to be blunt.

I am NOT spending such a stupid amount of money on a set of pans. Stop contacting me or I will take action against you for harrassment.

beanlet · 21/07/2011 20:39

Harrassment. And she's being ridiculous. A cease and desist is in order.

GeraldineAubergine · 21/07/2011 20:44

I know you are right. She's pretty old though. I have the guilts. I feel like I'm stopping her from putting cabbage cake and eggs on the table and that she'll be burning books to keep warm.

But when you say £1.27 per day (excluding deposit) it sounds so reasonable. What price health and fitness?
Just read the testimony of Aron Anderson. These pans are going to help him win an Olympic medal.
Yabvu. You must buy these pans. Literally, buy them.

GeraldineAubergine · 21/07/2011 23:37

In order to buy the Pans fluffy, I fear I will be selling my own soul. Also £1.27 is two and a third mars bars.

Your objections are overruled. Here is a helpful site to ensure that you get the best possible monetary exchange for your soul. I believe they may be similar to appendixes and not really necessary in this day and age.
Also if you stop buying two and a third Mars bars every day you will lose weight, therefore proving that £3000 pans can contribute towards a healthy lifestyle.
May I invite myself to tea at your house to partake of cabbage and sweetcorn?

GeraldineAubergine · 22/07/2011 00:31

You are more than welcome. Be aware I have sold all my furniture and my son will be filthy from working as a mudlark though. The sweetcorn will be an inferior brand too. We will have a prawns ring from Iceland as a starter though. It's aspirational.

£1.27 per day....not including deposit...

Collegues came up to me at work yesterday and shook her head sadly and said she thought I'd understand about saladmaster and didn't I realise they had a life time guarantee even after I die. That's right after I die my poor family will have titanium cookware to cheer them up.
