The UK importer is launching a BBQ set shortly, with a large Global chopping board, a pair of black Global branded BBQ Gloves and a G-110 knife (large BBQ knife, not to be confused with the GS-110) :)

The Dreame L40 Ultra robot vac and mop. 8-)

Oh, yes! This little minx is seductively meandering around Chez Gremlin, sucking and mopping and only taking a break when she's in need of a top up. I'm not sure what the polite convention is. Do I need to offer her a cuppa at some point?

The Hound of the Twatville is remarkably chilled about her presence and wandering nature. Just grudgingly moves to another room when she come in.

Rate as very pleasing (the knives, the magnetic mount is a bit pants), lighter and a smaller handle than expected but very nice comfortable knives.
Added bonus is they are sharp enough so that the wife and daughter will not go near them :thumbup:

When you get round to them needing sharpening, you need to sharpen at 15 degrees, or they'll not hold the edge.

If you want any more let me know... within the next two months :)

Terrible stuff, I got through tons of it when they were in their trans backlash phase as it was going for 30p a bottle, a drop of lime makes it slightly less disappointing

If you want cheap beer, go to Mercadona and buy their own brand stuff in the red cans. It's 5.5% and tastes nice.
