The mysterious immersion heater. Genuinely believing that putting it on for more than 10 mins would decimate the family finances forever. And leaving it on for more than 15 minutes would blow up the entire street. "WHO LEFT THE BASTARD IMMERSION ON ?!?"
Number 3

The electric carving knife

The self-proclaimed ‘head of the house’ wobbling in from the pub, insisting that he cuts the roast. 10 mins later: at best struggling to pick up his knife and fork with his bandaged hands. At worst, looking for his finger-end in the gravy.
Number 2

The chip pan. Caught fire so often, it wasn't even an event when it did. Never cleaned. To wash it would be to kill it. Produced the best chips on the planet.
The 70’s
