To: I broke my nans toaster by putting a knife in it
Me: Lucky you did not electrocute yourself and die. Next time, turn the electricity off at the wall, before you put anything metal into a toaster or anything which is electrically “live”.
It is easy enough for me to say – I cooked some Crumpets and used a fork to take one of them out of the toaster after they were well cooked (being hot), recently – then thought through the risk factor and turned the electricity off, before I removed the rest of them!!
Nobody is infallible and everyone does silly things from time to time, I suppose the trick is to have enough luck to continually survive.
So far, so good!!
