The electric hand whisk I had as a wedding present in 1982 lasted 31 years.
The one I replaced it with last summer (2013) has lasted not six months!
Just making a cake and one of the whisks broke, sending cake mix all over
the place.
Disgraceful isn't it?! I don't suppose I'll be able to get replacement whiskers
for it either. That was the only reason I had to replace the 31 year old one,
'cos I lost one of the whiskers.

Well I've been unable to source a replacement whisker for the broken one from the new
hand whisk, despite the thing being less than six months old and me trawling through
internet-land a lot.
I certainly will be extremely lucky to get one for the old whisk though will keep my eyes out
for one.
I've just been in our local hospice charity electrical shop up the road and asked, perchance,
had they got one. To my utmost astonishment she said she had, it was brand-new, in the
box and all complete. It cost £6.00! I was amazed and flabbergasted and cake-making can
now begin again in earnest!
Thank you everyone for your help, I really appreciate it.
