Doesn't she use a bank for all her US dollars then?

No, this is stuff you can eat, apparently. Wouldn't like to try it myself though, it doesn't look much like chips to me. I am told salt water would make it taste funny, though it looks as if it probably tastes funny already.

It's not that 'salad' stuff I've been dodging for a long time is it?

You sound like Commander Sam Vimes - "I'll have a BLT and go easy on the lettuce and tomato, VERY easy".

Before you spend big bucks, disconnect the electrical supply and turn the fridge upside down for a wee while, shake or agitate it if poss, turn it right way up and allow it to settle, agitating it again may help, then reconnect the mains and see how it gets on.
No joke.

Yep, that would completely end it's useful life.
This was a trick used to repair ammonia filled fridges in the dark ages. Fridges these days are filled with R134A or R600A gas and have oil in the compresser. Mixing the two would then cause oil to be pumped around the refrigeration system and VOILA!! You have a cupboard.

They're like that. The more one agitates them, the more frigid they become...

Many thanks

The outcome kinda reminded me of the urban myth about the PC callcentre Tech, talking a person through all the options only to finally discover that there is a power cut in the building....
Glad you're sorted Stephen - I was losing sleep worrying about you not being cold enough down there

Due to a reorganisation in the house I had to swap the door hinges over from one side to the other a year or so back (it's a simple screwdriver job and meant to be done, for those of you like Willk that have visions of roofing screws being driven in through a couple of gate hinges  ) and since then it has never sealed quite right around the door. Turns out the seal had "set" and a bit of heat let it reshape and "set" in the right place. Simple enough except when you hadn't thought of it.
Mr Willk I thought I HAD defrosted it - anyway I am still at a loss as to exactly where the five litres of water was hiding
