Spent the evening fixing the toater - I _think_ that its OK now, only the circuit breaker flips when 6 slices is selected which means:
A) The circuit breaker was simply overloaded by all those elements warming up.
B) One of my sisters will die tomorrow.

Ho hum.

Well, I am currently the happiest little Jarvie that a Jarvie can be, dearest benjamin brought me back a load of Glastonbury postcards signed by the bestest, tweeist band in the world. Thankyou Benjamin. :-X
