I've done it. I have retired. Now what?
Today I used my little African coal pot. Never used one before, never heard of a coal pot before six months ago when I was told about it by my work colleague Diane.
Over the next six months I scoured the internet, trying to locate a Jamaican coal pot in the UK but to no avail. I then spent many an hour trawling the internet trying to locate any pot from anywhere in the world. Finally my quest was answered and I merrily paid for a sturdy African coal pot to be delivered to my door costing just under £50!
Three days later my money was refunded. Gutted.
Back to the internet. This time I trawled my way through site after site after site and there it was. My saviour. This time I paid £7.95 and was truly chuffed. It came swiftly.
I was so excited until I saw the size of it. It's tiny. Like doll size or for cooking for one. Tried out my frying pan on it to see whether it would buckle under the weight, but it performed very well.
So today I decided to try it out. Got the hub to dig out the charcoal and fire lighter bricks, some barbecue equipment and got the hub to set it going. Took just two sausages from the freezer to defrost and waited for the coal to change colour.
Forgot about it as I was catching up on Twitter until the hub asked me how the sausages were going. Fled outside and placed them on the fish rack thingy that closes just in time for the hub to come out into the back garden. Sausages dripping fat, coals getting lively. Caught colour very quickly.
After five minutes put on plate and gave one to the hub. He took one bite and said it was stone cold in the middle. One minute in the good old microwave and voila! It works!
Now got a potato wrapped in foil on it to see whether it will bake. After 45 minutes almost done.
Below is a picture of my little helper. And the experimental potato sitting quietly next to it.
Gambian Charcoal Pot purchased from B and C Educational Limited with carriage cost 9.95. A little bargain.

Cool website!
My name’s Eric, and I just found your site - webador.co.uk - while surfing the net. You showed up at the top of the search results, so I checked you out. Looks like what you’re doing is pretty cool.
But if you don’t mind me asking – after someone like me stumbles across webador.co.uk, what usually happens?
Is your site generating leads for your business?
I’m guessing some, but I also bet you’d like more… studies show that 7 out 10 who land on a site wind up leaving without a trace.
Not good.
Here’s a thought – what if there was an easy way for every visitor to “raise their hand” to get a phone call from you INSTANTLY… the second they hit your site and said, “call me now.”
You can –
Talk With Web Visitor is a software widget that’s works on your site, ready to capture any visitor’s Name, Email address and Phone Number. It lets you know IMMEDIATELY – so that you can talk to that lead while they’re literally looking over your site.
CLICK HERE http://talkwithcustomer.com to try out a Live Demo with Talk With Web Visitor now to see exactly how it works.
Time is money when it comes to connecting with leads – the difference between contacting someone within 5 minutes versus 30 minutes later can be huge – like 100 times better!
That’s why we built out our new SMS Text With Lead feature… because once you’ve captured the visitor’s phone number, you can automatically start a text message (SMS) conversation.
Think about the possibilities – even if you don’t close a deal then and there, you can follow up with text messages for new offers, content links, even just “how you doing?” notes to build a relationship.
Wouldn’t that be cool?
