Look in Lakeland catalogue for full description. It is a cooker using heat from the lid and low wattage which is much favoured by caravan and motorhome users. We have had one for many years and when at one point we lived in our camper for about 3 winter months due to family illness it was in daily use. It is extremely versatile and the only thing I found it not good for is eggs. I use it for grilling mostly at home.

It's 32C in the shade in my backyard but only 19C indoors - the joy of a stone built cottage, cool in summer, toasty in winter.

Go forward two weeks and Liberace came in at No.20, making it four in the Top Twenty, with the same song.I did wonder about the Radio 2 reference but didn't quite understand why it was there. I have never followed the charts, it was just the quandry for me of which to buy. A few months ago, Pointless was on the TV and I heard Richard Osmond say that Don't Leave Me this Way was the only example of the same song being in the top ten by two different artists. My other chicken sh1t excuse is 1955 - I wasn't born.
I'm glad GM has at least had the chance to drop or amend the question before putting in his quiz.
You should get in touch with them and point out he got it wrong.

Ah, but did he?😄
You've yet to show me an example of the same song being in the charts at the same time by TWO different artists, You have, admittedly most impressively, given examples of two threes and now a four. But where is the example of another two? In defence of Richard Osman, he may have said 'in the top ten' but I admit I am unsure, but it's been fun.

Are you saying Jimmy Young, All Hibbler and Led Baxter were the all the same person?

No. I assume they are three people rather than two. I'm very happy to concede that the premise of the question could be wrong. That will at least enable you to enjoy your evening if nothing else. I doubt that GM used the question, so no harm done.
