Those reports went beyond biased. All 23 of them.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.



Just a small update. It's been a month since this Teaspoon came in contact with salt.

I was thinking of selling it on a popular spoon auction site as an easy restoration project, one owner, will pass a stirring test easy.

It’s one less I suppose, every cloud has a sliver lining, or a cheaply plated low quality steel lining if it’s a Krupp cloud.

Ah yes, the old it's not worth anything and i suppose you would even be doing me a favor taking it off my hands. I admire your haggling technique.

I tell you what, yours for 1 bitcoin or swap it with a Krupp 45(b)

Oh dearfrown I’ve just had a bit of an unfortunate experience whilst out shopping. Walking down my high street I was intrigued to see a sign saying ‘Tannin salon’ over a shop door. Intrigued as to what tannin/tea/spoon related services were on offer within, I entered.

Once inside a nice lady told me to undress and to lie on a bed with what appeared to be an array of UV lamps over it; my inquiry as to were there any bowl polishing or flange stroking services available, was greeted with an offhand ‘we’re not that kind of place’.

As I lay there in the altogether, apart from my studded co-respondent patent leather stirring shoes, it occurred to me the aforementioned tannin/tea/spoon services were notable by their absence, so I made my excuses and left, only to be greeted outside by two sign writers fixing a ‘g’ to the Tannin over the shop doorway.

So a salutary lesson learned I think, me posting this only as a warning for you not to make the same mistake.

If you buy a pair of them Blib, is there a Krupp approved way to display them side by side, maybe like this?
^ I remembered this I posted a while back, after having a new boiler fitted today...



...are Viessman a subsidiary of Krupp Industries I wonder? There was mention of a thousand year warranty.

Here's one of our sales team on a friendly visit to the local competition, which exploded shut for a major refurbishment soon afterwards.

My local spoon group has stories of swarthy travellers stealing spoons. Not just teaspoons, all varieties are targets.

I suppose this must reflect the increased popularity of teaspoons over lockdown, with the corresponding price increase.

Is this a general trend, or a national problem?

The half life of a teaspoon is 81 days. Of course, Krupp is significantly less.

On a separate topic, I am hearing reports that Krupp are recalling / holding back delivery of some spoons due to a major problem with manufacture?

Chap I know turned up to "click and collect" with JL and they wouldn't let him take his order away! What a let down.

It's just that where you live is a godforsaken, crime-ridden hell hole.

HTH.
