I have learned over the years that men create things to make their life more comfortable. So the English, who take off their shirts when the thermometer records 12degrees and declare that the summer has set in, built houses with fire places, carpeted the floor, used spoons and forks to eat, and toilet paper in the wash rooms. Their inventions did not stop there and went on to create the more......
- Morning tea- you have a pair of small tongs to squeeze the tea bag.
- You use tea powder? you have mugs fitted with perforated cups.you place the tea leaves, pour boiling water and after a few minutes of brewing,lift and take them away.
- Breakfast-a stand to keep the toasted bread slices.
- A small cup shaped like half an egg shell to keep the boiled egg.
- Oh! why two different pieces? here is a bread slice holder with an egg cup attached.
- Do you want poached egg? we have a small perforated cup to hold the contents of one egg that you can dip in water to poach.
- The steel ones are no good. china wear breaks. So we have silicone cups.
- The silicone cups are too flexible - difficult to lift with tongs. too hot to lift with fingers. so we made 2-3 holes near the edges and a special tongs-stick like-that go into the holes .
- Knives-different types for cutting, slicing, paring scooping, chopping,smearing and one for meat, one for vegetables one for fruits and one for bread.
- This gadget here is for removing the fiber from the sides of beans and it also slices it. It is called bean stringer.

- This one here is for cutting the pizza.
- This spade like thing is for lifting and serving cake - shaped like a wedge
- Look at this-it is a pair of tongs, shaped like a cake wedge.you put it around the cake like a lasso and lift.
- Your child wants to take bananas to school. it gets crushed or if you put it in a box it sweats. so put it in this special box shaped like a banana with breathing holes.
