OT - Chip pan

I doubt it - there would be pools of oil under it every morning :)

According to my mate Gert (a German Mancunian) the German for 'grease nipple' is 'fett nipple'. Which is very disappointing.

Hold down the key and type '130' on the number keypad to get é, and 'e-grave' is 138. If it doesn't work, make sure is on (also used to give odd results with some Micro$oft applications, but they seem to have fixed that recently).

You can get all sorts of useful stuff using alt-number combinations. I prefer US keyboard to the UK version, and thus always type 156 to get a £ sign.

For Macs there's a different approach involving the Apple menu, which I can't remember at this second. For Ataris and Acorn, yer on yer own...

The message from "David French" contains these words:

I an guessing here but I guess the wrong type of oil is the answer. Our old faithfull, god help us if it goes wrong has a high and a low setting, High for artificial poisenous rubbish, and low for good old dripping. New machines appear to only have the high setting. My guess is that italians might favour olive oil,spanish use a lot of denatured rape oil, untreated it is highly poisenous and will kill you in quite small quantities. ditto linseed oil, coconut oil (copra oil) used to be ok but rare as RHS now, Sunflower oil is an ok oil I am given to understand but the range of oils available nowadays is colussel and most are more suited to the manufacture of paint. The upshot is to basically look for an oil with a higher boiling temperature. Course I am assuming you havent put loads of water in there with the fat!

Now that's handy, even works through Lotus notes. I'm fed up of writing GBP!
