I do not think that I could be happy with a new ceramic hob. I prefer big clunky obvious simple controls. How did we manage years ago with no hob timers? But we did.

Did they use the same cooker? How odd!

If you were posh, like us, the oven had a timer though.

Why odd Chris?

One might think that each would have her own cooker, but perhaps your wife inherited the cooker from your mother? None of our business really!
