Drag your skiffle board out again, Dermot. They may be becoming fashionable once more. :-D

Thank you Gwyn. My Hotpoint was one of the OK ones when this problem first showed up but I'd better go and check it again now.

EDIT: Just checked and my model isn't one of those affected so should be OK

Thank you for that, Gwyn.
I shall have to tell the cat lady up the road. :-(

More models have been added to the list of machines which may be more prone to catch fire.
