We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember Bob Minchin
saying something like:

Yes they are repairable but you need to know what you are doing, to be
able get parts at trade prices and diy; otherwise with with new
microwave ovens on the market from £25 upwards, repair does not make
economic sense.

It does if it's a decent make, because the cheap ones are utter **** and
I'll not buy another one.
