On the first day Mr Rhodes said he wouldn't put his name to anything that wasn't perfect. Well I have a Gary Rhodes breadmaker....its crap mr Rhodes. They don't make it any more probably because its rather dangerous. It makes the bread fairly averagely but getting the bread out is like a tug of war. That along with the red hot elements you have to put your hands across to engage in this tug of war make the whole thing well below the 100% you require but there on the front is the signature GARY RHODES well well would you believe it

Perhaps if you shout at it in a sort of hoarse voice, remind it that you are a team and pretend to be really angry it will perform better? That seems to be Gary's modus operandi.

lol ! I've been thinking about this and I guess it is behaving in a Gary Rhodes fashion after all. It wont let me take its sub-standard bread out to put on the table and eat!
