Your unit reminds me of mine. Not that tall yourself and a missus even shorter, but your male offspring are in a different weather system.

🤣😂 so true

Thanks for sharing the photos, goldie.  You must be really proud.  Such a fine looking young man, and so accomplished!  Congratulations.

There is like zero gap. I watched a video on a similar model to try and get under there, but this one is frustratingly different.

I assume this is a gas stove, hence you don't just unplug and move it, right?  It sounds like the only way is to turn off gas to the unit, detach from the gas supply, and move it away from the wall, tilting it forward.  We have an old Wedgewood and there's probably new forms of life coming into being under there.  I do my best to clean as far under as I can reach, but then... it's not a great design feature that makes this area inaccessible.   When I googled for your problem, I just got all kinds of lame advice about how to clean under the stove.  Yeah.  Right.

I would just buy new scissors.

Here, freestanding cookers are connected to the gas on a flexible hose with the cooker itself having to be chained to the wall. Once this chain is disconnected you can move it out to clean keeping an eye not to stress the hose. You can even disconnect the hose as it's on a sprung bayonet connector which means the gas will automatically shut off. You only really do this when changing the cooker, though.

I was in Alabama for the last "cold snap" in the nineties. Darned chilly.

I see the vernacular rubbed off on you.

As number one son has not sorted out his room when he last left (no surprise) I noticed he left a few TP links (increase wifi around the house.
Anyone ever set one up ?

The man , maybe a legend has  passed away Barry Humphries aka Dame Edna Everage or the even lesser known Sir Les Patterson
Me wonder if what he would have thought about todays comedy correctness and how he would have approached it ?

So. The wife and I will be attending the coronation concert.

It's not really my thing but I think it would have been stupid not to accept the invitation.

Well, it will be an experience you can tell your grandchildren about, so that's one thing, and maybe the music will be good?

So, last night I sort of chaperoned my neighbour (the deputy lord lieutenant) to the robing of the new mayor of Wandsworth. Of course, I was totally posing but all the MPs and other so called dignitaries were non the wiser.

I'm sure it wouldn't impress bazzdude, but I believe Wandsworth has the most multicultural cohort of councillors.
