It really depends on how often it's used though, doesn't it SophieS?

Frankly I bought mine mostly to 'swank it up' a bit occasionally with visitors.

I mainly use the big old royal blue square of polypro and anyway don't do that much chopping no how.

I might treat myself to another chop2pot for Xmas though and alternate them, which would make them last longer.

I might go for the pink one as a nice contrast to the black and in memory of my old pair of pink peg slacks.

Ah SophieS, the good people of Morleys of Brixton are way ahead of you.

I noticed today that their Le Creuset range now includes a ridged rubber disc, specifically for the purpose of preventing a chopping board from getting away from a chopper. And for only huit quid an' all.

It doesn't actually say on the label, "An end to chopping board slippage misery", but it should.

They're definitely new since last Tuesday and I reckon arrived alongside the LC oven gloves. A snip at ?13.75.

And that's for a joined pair!!

Well I did buy it in Brixton...

I laugh with sneering contempt at these poseurs who appear to possess only the one chopping "board". In my own batterie de cuisine I naturally have a selection: one for raw meat, 1 for vegetables, 1 for spare, 1 to lend out to passing Royalty, and so on and so forth.. These are mostly of wood and not any of these new-fangled plastics.


I blame TV "chefs"

But are they folding SimonM? I bet you end up dropping stuff all over the floor as the chopped victuals are tranported from work surface to pot.

Obviously they can be retreived from the floor, but if one has had a couple of glasses of the good stuff this can lead to staggerage and possible head injury. Also if a fellow is to keep salvaging food from the floor he'd have to attend to its hygiene more often than rthan once every four or five weeks, and it does so eat into one's time.

So I give you the chop2pot, "An indirect end to floor washing misery".


And as for wood SimonM, I'd shun it because of the rain forests and all that. Plastics the future round these parts.

    • I am genuinely curious… what is this obsession with keeping children active with things to do after school. From what I know, most  CV kids to rugby or football of a weekend but do they actually need activities during the week after school? What about going home, relaxing before homework and I don’t know, reading a book, drawing, Lego, constructing a car/plane.. even making some cookies…
    • The BBC is one of the finest, if not the finest, broadcasters in the world.  They have been admired by many across the world for their journalism.  There have been numerous arrests since their recent expose on convenience shops that cover ups for criminals - money laundering, contraband,  illegal workers and the like. By no means perfect and some of what they have done in the modern world is questionable - the website often comes across as tabloid or sensationalist, as do some of their documentaries, and at times it is full of low grade game shows, fly on the wall etc which bring the punters and money, including overseas, in but is not quality TV.  In their desperation for 'balance' they've given too much air time and credibility to some more extreme views, which contributed to Brexit and some of the rise in right wing parties.  I wish they'd say 'the convicted criminal' every time they talk about Yaxley Lenon. The programme was clumsy, why it didn't go through proper clearance including the lawyers, I don't know.  But it created zero stir at the time. Zero.  And had no impact on the election, so Trump has no case.  I hope they don't cave in like many of the US corporations and media.  Oh and well done to South Park using the small p*nis defence in ridiculing him. What I expect is as the Beeb is pretty centrist in it;s reporting in riles some of those who thrive on the toxic populism we have seen since Trump mark 1 and Brexit.  How sad.
    • I understand from Pao that they are taking a short break but will be re-opening on Tuesday 25th November and also that there will be a sign in the window tomorrow, by way of confirmation. Meanwhile, greatly  missed!
