to think that £150 is a ridiculous amount of money to spend on a toaster

[lucyellensmum]

and even more unreasonable to have actually considered doing so (especially as we are a bit boracic just now).

I mean, is it REALLY going to make better toast than the £19.99 jobby from argos, or do i just want it to look pretty (very 50's retro) But seriously, does it make a difference? I remember my mother giving us quite an expensive toaster ages ago and it made shite toast, although it wasnt £150.

We have been making toast on the grill for years now because of the shite toaster but now i want a toaster and cant decide on £9.99 or saving up for an all singing all dancing toaster in primrose yellow and shiny chrome.

So who is/has spent this much and yes I agree they are bonkers, they should have paid 20 quid like the rest of us and given the rest to a donkey sanctuary.

I had a cheap toaster at uni & it wasn't that great. But think you can get a good one for less than £150.

£9.99 - it's got to work properly then - can't rely on its good looks to get by!

It will still burn the toast and set the smoke alarm off every day, just like a cheap one!

I wouldn't pay that much unless it made the tea as well .

Make the fucking tea, I would want a fucking massage an' all for 150 quid.

i'd like a dualit, nice thick toast.

that was what it was, a dualit - personally thought im with UCM, i would want it dressed in an apron, bringing me the toast in bed, along with croissants and tea, i just cant decide whether to have the massage before or after, theres the crumbs issue you see.

I think ill stick to the gril and wait til me horse comes in first.

hatrick - mines 9 yrs old, and it is fab!!!!

if the same logic applies to clothing why are the majority wearing levis or jeans for mankind or designer clobber when tesco do £4 jeans...answer because we want to it is called consumerism/capitalism/marketing

i agree, but aesthetically i would rather have an alessi than a tesco value kettle

cat, i agree, so its off to tesco for me in the morning wistfully thinking i should like to have 150 spare pence laying around.

I spent £170 on a toilet brush from John Lewis but it held the toilet roll as well!

scottishmummy, my jeans come from the charity shop

that's shocking!!! Is it very beautiful? You do realise you are going to get lynched for it, don't you

We have dualit,it's crap.

madamenoir! please find a pic and link it!

it is your money if it makes you happy why not i love all the phillipe starck toilet range modernism classic aesthetically astounding

madamenoir, are you having a laugh, i spend 50p from tesco for bog brushes, so that when they get minging i throw them away!!! at that price id not use the thing, hmmm, bet you have a secret stash of cheapy ones really.

my point is - if it is your money and you chose to spend on a consumer durable (whatever the brand/cost/source it is up to you)

I don't care!
Apparently they were sold out in Edinburgh so we had to order it from the Glasgow branch!
(Now I am confident I will get lynched )

I have the phillipe Starck gun lamp range - go on people, slate me for it I can handle it. Hee hee hee! I love Starck, he's amazing!
