"at least there's a couple left"
Would you like me to try and find some more or, having previously convinced yourself that there are't
any because we're not allowed to have them, you're now going to convince yourself that there are only
two?
It's been explained on numerous occasions that the 40 auto cut-off or auto standby is the
default setting, but the manufacturer can offer other options
as well.
You've repeatedly ignored those explanations and insisted that the EU won't
allow us to have a longer time, that the manufacturers hands are tied, that coffee-makers with a one-hour shut-off simply
don't exist, that nobody will find one etc. etc.
This wasn't just an off-the cuff remark or an isolated claim. It was the whole basis of your argument and you repeated it time and time again.
To save you having to go through your own thread; let me remind you ...

Are you actually going to acknowledge that your claims were rubbish, or should I expect some sort of "Yeah, but that's not really the point" bull****?
