SOS From The Kitchen
Sir,—How often does the smell of charred viands or red-hot metal remind the housewife, male or female, elsewhere engaged, that things have been going much too well on the /kitchen front? Surely somebody could devise a mechanical gadget guaranteed to emit warning noises at regular intervals, as a reminder, of the march of events in or on the kitchen stove. One could then get on with the garden, or read “The Press.” or pursue that altercation about which of us put the kettle on without any water in it, with a clear conscience. Perhaps the Fire Services Council and M.E.D., as interested parties, might collaborate in producing this much-needed appliance.—Yours, etc., M.T. January 2, 1962.
