Default Talking about wooden floors!

Brings me neatly on to this BBQ, purchased last year.
It's crap, took me an afternoon to build and has numerous things go wrong with it since, and look where it's made. I won't take it back because B&Q want me to dismantle it and I won't, so I lost my money. Bloody Canadian rubbish.

Well, yes its a "fiesta". Of course its crap. Didnt you ask anyone before you bought it?

In that case "Made in Canada" quite probably refers only to the work you did in putting it together.

Nowt wrong with gas. Sounds like the venturi gap is wrong, or else you need to fiddle with the regulator to try and get more gas going through it.

Well no wonder it doesn't work. Any fool can see you've built it backwards.

Like that architect's house.

Just as well. Canadian horses don't work over there either. Wrong voltage.

I've fiddled with it till my fingers are red raw, I had another go last week and got one side working then tried clearing the other jet, put the gas through (thru) and the only thing that had gas coming up was the side gas cooking ring which had never worked! So I kicked it and the gas bottle fell off the stand onto the cat. Have you ever seen a three legged cat run up a fence? It doesn't go very far.

So to recap, Canadian goods only work in Canada. They're spiked so's not to work in other countries, is that because of the cartels?

Oh no, I never said that. But Canadians know not to buy Fiesta BBQ's. As notiaink pointed out, they don't work here either.
