Hi everyone, Well, thanks for the input. I have also had a good look around now to see what's there. I discovered the sizes have changed a little since we purchased a cooker last, about 17 years ago, so now we have to stop until a little work is done on our kitchen and we can make a final choice. Thanks, though, for all the comments. They're much appreciated. -- Carol carol.pearson@xxxxxxxxxxxx -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Spring Flower Sent: Thursday, October 13, 2005 10:09 AM To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: COOKERS True, that's one of the reasons mum won't have an electric cooker, no use in a power cut, I on the other hand hate using gas hobs etc. Trace ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter Beasley" <pjbeasley@xxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, October 12, 2005 10:27 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: COOKERS >I disagree.
