Ah, I'm sure I'll survive. Besides, there never seems to be all that many toddlers around in ours, it's mostly teens and students that buy them.
99p for a pot of sweets is fine for me, though.

Perhaps pb likes that sort of thing. It's always the price that puts me off pic-n-mix.
Too right ... and I'm not usually that 'picky' ...

You never know what you're getting with pic-n-mix...

Made the mistake of walking into Wilko today. Half price pic-n-mix and I needed some change...

What's next? Fridge retainers to prevent the weight of your milk overbalancing your fridge when you open the door? Stabilisers for your blu-ray player, just in case it lurches out of your TV cabinet when you pop the drawer?
Or ... advisory note on pc dvd drives ... 'This is not a cup holder' ... ;¬)
Old I admit, but ...

You're not thinking outside the 'oven' chas ... how many times have you put 'cooking food' on an oven door?
I mentioned this 'issue' at work today and people were 'gobsmacked'! Some were quite concerned that they may need a chain, as they 'occaisionally' rest a soufflé on the grill/top oven door ... which isn't a door as it folds down to provide an obvious dangerous platform which, under extreme weight, could cause a soufflé to bring lava-like devastation to the kitchen floor ...
Much to my amusement, we all agreed ... it's a load of boll*cks :¬)
The Missus tells me that apparently several years back, her mother had the same "advisory note" applied to her gas oven, so this has been a "thing" for some time.

Well... if your food is heavy enough to tip your oven over, you might need to rest it a bit half-way out, perhaps?
Honestly, DL, think sensibly, man!

Man this is madness personified ... how or why do you put food on 'an oven door'????
Our 'under advisory oven' is on a flat and level surface. This has been checked with a spirit level and any deviation has been adjusted using the integrated adjustable feet. The oven is connected to the gas connection with a flexible gas pipe with a bayonnet fitting. The gas pipe in question is nearly 1m in length, so plenty of room for 'pulling out' the appliance for inspection or disconnection. My service guy was like a few I've had in the past ... a jobsworth ... nice and efficient but obviously a plonker ;¬)

It reads like the script for a really bad comedy sketch! Tipping your cooker over by standing a sponge cake on the door seems a little unlikely to me...
If your food is heavier than your cooker, surely you shouldn't be allowed in a kitchen? Ever?!
Regulatory madness as usual...
At £108 for a "quality Cooker Chain", I'd be inclined to use a bungie instead. Far more fun in "food tipping" situations, don't you think?
