I don't think it was. I earn a reasonable salery and still got it. These days 
they are starting to help those who are in employment more than those who 
aren't as an insentive to get people in to work, so you might be surprised as 
to how high the threshhold is.

It is probably means tested though.

  I also noticed your council does a home security grant. I used one to buy a 
GE smart security alarm which is fully speaking and can even turn your lights 
on and off, close curtains etc.

  Peter perhaps you would be kind enough to look for me too.  Mine is Camden 
London borough of Camden.  Perhaps you would e-mail me off list if you find 
they do but I'd be faily sure they won't.

    There is an adaptations ggrant which I think most councils offer My rehab 
suggested I applied through that and I got it. Not to mention how keen they 
were for me to include other items as well.

    Which is your council and I'll have a look on the net to see if they have 
one if you like

    How on earth did you manage to get yuour Council to pay for it!  The rehab 
worker at my Council culd not even talk to me on the phone.  Said he was too 
busy and on his wait to see a client.  Not sure if he viewed me as someone from 
utter space and not a client.

      Hi, I have one, and managed to get my council to pay for it.

      I find it's very good and safer to use than a big oven.

      The only thing I don't really like about it is that the voice is a bit 
loud, even when turned down to it's lowest. Also being told when you open or 
close the door is a bit annoying and embaressing as most people are going to 
know when it's open or closed. It might have been nice to be reminded if you 
left the door open every few minutes so that the light isn't on wasting energy.

      If you cook a pizza that would take 18 minutes on the instructions, then 
use the cook pizza setting using the weight, I've had pizzas cooked perfectly 
in about 11 minutes. Same with jacket potatos. Much quicker!

      Barbara,

      It generally works well.  You can cook in any combination of microwave, 
grill and  convection.  If you mix the cooking methods you have to take care 
though.  For example, if you microwave a pizza and finish it off under the 
grill, then you can't cover the pizza otherwise the film will melt when you 
grill.  Also you cannot use plastic dishes with convection, but you can with 
the microwave.

      Generally though it works very well.  Not cheap, but it does the job.  
You can download the instruction manual from the Cobolt site.

      Hi

      I was wondering if anyone on the list owned the Cobolt Talking 
Combination Oven? This is a microwave, convection oven and grill all in one. If 
there are any users, how do they find it? I'd like to have some user feedback 
before forking out £269.00.
