Mine being my computer chair, I'm sitting on it at the moment :-) My daughter gave it to me many years ago and it literally takes me all over the place. I scoot from fridge to cooker, from cupboard to sink, brill...have even taken it out onto the garden path to tend my flower pots...Children who come to visit love it also but usually have it taken off them after us adults have had their toes run over a few times :-D |

Rose...Yep same here, OH & sons all tall and throw top kitchen window open too far for me to reach, found the masher to be the perfect solution. |

My Potato Masher....Never used on potato's, but works great to open the handle on top kitchen window and hooks back to close again :-) |

Kitchen tongs... Skyline and wearing a bit now, but at least 40 years old and great for their normal use, also for retrieving clothes behind radiators or for getting a longer handled leverage on bottle tops which won't turn. |
