I'm sitting here smiling to myself. This is very much a male
dominated group, yet we must be modern men. The subject of kitchens
or any part of kitchens seem to attract more views that almost any
other :-)


I think you have misinterpreted the direction of interest.


My comment was slightly tongue in cheek but, whatever the reason, be it
cost, practicality, aesthetics or something else, it is true that
anything relating to kitchens always seems to attract a lot of interest.

The aesthetics is in the eye of the beholder, cost is not necessarily
relevant as some will always go for the cheapest whereas others will go
for a known 'top name' brand and practicality? My practical is your
impractical. Look at the debates on type of worktop (Formica, slate,
wood etc). sinks (Butler, SS, single, double etc), cookers (range, built
in, single or multiple ovens, fuel type etc). That is before we mention
flooring, lighting, equipment and more.

Not that I'm complaining - I enjoy the debates, and hope to gain the
benefit of the experience of others, however entrenched my own views.
