Peugeot Coffee Grinder (£1 from a charity shop)
Artwork grabbed me, love Dogs and enjoyed shooting clay - no reason but caught my eye, makes a nice coffee table item.
Miss a good Toasty, was debating to go for one which crimped the edges but this one won as it looks like I can squash in more filling!

Cheap if flying to America, expensive if flying to Aberdeen.

Nice, I'm not very geographically minded (or well travelled) so I just had to Google where that is.

Still cheaper than a train!More parking purchased, I think i've spent about £500+ in airport parking this year.

There are no trains to make the 3 out of the 4 flights i've booked this year to get to from home. 2 of them are like 7am flights, this one is 9am. So I would need train + airport hotel.

I’ve got to figure out Heathrow airport parking myself for a week in February. Amazing how much they rip you off. My sister lives in Staines so with any luck I can park up at her house then just get a taxi to the airport, but need to figure out a backup plan.

Despite the cost, it is still the most convenient way for me. The other options are Just Park and then get a taxi, train, bus (National Express) or a taxi from home.
The ability to just park there 24/7 and a shuttle bus 24/7 between the car park and airport is a big plus. I don't have to worry about when i leave, when i land, don't have to concern about train delays or strike.
I’ve stayed at the Sofitel at Heathrow a couple of times. It’s predictably expensive but it’s nice not having to drive/take a taxi at 4am.
However, it’s got this kind of future luxury 90s vibe going on. There was a TV in the bathroom (why???) that we couldn’t switch off and it was showing nothing but repeats of Michael Barrymore’s Strike It Lucky.

My problem with a lot of toastie machines is they're not wide enough to fit the whole slices of bread in
So end up with something that looks like this https://www.reddit.com/r/CasualUK/comments/ql3ruy/remembered_i_had_a_toastie_maker_and_so_begins_3/

I'm not a coffee drinker or fan, but arent these Peugeot coffee grinders like £100-£200 new? If so thats a hell fo a stealPeugeot Coffee Grinder (£1 from a charity shop)
@chaparral that Reddit post made me laugh - so true. 
I was looking at one like that but went for the flat plate type to toast a Panini, so I use it more.
@Zenduri It was a bargain, nearly fell over when I saw how much the go for. I'm not sure how old this one is, a few years going by the patina. It's all complete and working, well chuffed!

I bought a Zassenhaus a while ago, another hand grinder of similar design, cost me £70!
Just check current price, STONKS!

Bike number 14 had to happen eventuallyFinally bought a proper bike then
About 5 years ago I was having lunch at the Bluebird in Chelsea (proper posh innit) and my colleague had a habit of checking what brand the salt & pepper mills were at every restaurant we went to, and this was the first time I'd seen him discover that they were Peugeot mills. He told me the significance of this so I tried them out, and got my wife to buy me a set for Christmas.
There aren't many products left in the world which have that "will last forever" feeling but these most certainly do.
