Milkpan

Husband selected a nice new milkpan at Tesco's. We needed a new one because
1. after many years' of faithful service, the handle of our Ikea milkpan was now in the final stage of separation from the main body;
2. and the non-stick coating on our new Sainsbury milkpan started to peel off in day one.

So as part of his weekly big shopping event, he put into his trolley a shiny new milkpan.

As he was leaving the checkout area, he couldn't help overhearing the following conversation between his cashier and the next customer:

Next customer: "What a lovely milkpan that gentleman has bought. I'm kind o' thinkin I should run back and get one myself!"
Cashier: "Don't bother, it's awful."
Customer: "What do you mean?"
Cashier: "The handle gets so hot you will burn yourself. I bought one last week and had to bring it back straightaway."

Sometimes I kind o' think this world is going mad.
