After 16 years of reliable use, Mrs T's waste disposal finally spat the dummy and has to be replaced for lack of spare parts. I only need a small (but unique) plastic pipe to fix it but that's another story.

Having done the obligatory internet search I find little reporting to recommend any brands and Consumer's last testing was 1996!

I am looking at a Robinhood RW12 at the moment but the brand is unknown to me so can anybody offer comments or recommendations?

It is our 17th wedding anniversary on Saturday :8} and I want to surprise her with a really romantic gift. ]:)

Cheers

P.S. Mrs T really wants an eternity ring but I reckon you
only get that when you feel like you have been married for
an eternity and to me, 17 years still feels like 5 minutes.

Such is wedded bliss :8} :8} 		Billy T (70)

Well.. Mans best friend has been known to eat food scraps before if its and consolation ;-)

Personally, I think the saying for christmas:

Wise men still bring gold

Is a good saying that can be used all year round ;-) 		Chilling_Silence (9)
129548 2003-03-19 22:55:00 Hens: Will eat or turn over for compost most things but if you eat a lot of chicken not recommended.

Labradors: Don't know when to stop eating but don't regard potato skins as part of the food group

Pigs: Will eat ANYTHING. How about a nice little pig for a family pet? 		Heather P (163)
129549 2003-03-19 23:19:00 Hmmmm..........

I don't need live-action waste disposals, we have two junior T's who do a great job of hoovering up anything edible. I really need a grinder for the stuff that even they won't eat!

Cheers

129550 2003-03-19 23:27:00 Well taking the labrador for a walk is like taking a vacuum cleaner out for a stroll, pigs on the other hand make excellent grinders.

Pig/labrador cross? 		Heather P (163)

So is that a Pigador or a labpig. Maybe a lapigador.

129552 2003-03-20 00:26:00 We had hens for years - up until a couple of months ago. Since then food scraps have gone into an area roughly designated as a compost bin.

My daughter was heard to comment the other day whilst heading outdoors with the bucket "I must be the only person in Auckland who feeds a fencepost!"

Definitely a Pigador! In fact, considering the rotund tummy on someone who lives not so far from here, one doesn't need to cross with the pig! 		Heather P (163)

Try your local 100% electrical store if your interested though . . . 		Chilling_Silence (9)
129554 2003-03-20 00:34:00 I had a similar problem a few months back. After looking at various brands I decided to replace with the same (Insinkerator)
The new one fitted into the space left by the 10yo one with no modifications necessary to the pipework. A big plus IMHO.

129555 2003-03-20 01:57:00 Most appropriately, did you see Billy T James skit with the Land Rover gearbox as a waste disposal, very funny. Got a Land Rover out the back have you (the beauty of it was that it had forward AND reverse!). Dolby Digital (160)
