Directly heats the pan via magnetism rather than indirectly heating it via an independent element. It's neat af.

I swore by gas and I was horrified when they advised an induction hob when I had the kitchen done, I really didn’t want electric. But they showed me one working in their showroom and I was sold and I’d never go back to gas now. Induction hobs really are the dog’s bollocks.

Gas is king. Miles prefer it. Plus having a proper gas burner hob with the iron rack supporting the pan means you can use a proper round bottomed wok.

Ah yes!
I used to do a lot of Chinese cooking, loved my wok, but it really isn't the same on a hob. I know you can do most of it in a flat bottomed pan, but it's not the same at all.

Loafers paired with shorts, some of these cricket fans have no shame.
Always found it a tough one getting the right shoes with shorts. Easy enough casual with flip flops or trainers etc but not so easy when going smart. Feel a bit of a knob in deck shoes so bought some Birkenstock sandals and feel an even bigger knob wearing them.
Tricky one but loafers and shorts is a line that won’t be crossed.

What are loafers?
Thought a loafer was similar in style to a moccasin slipper. Not too different from a boat/deck shoe. Googling seems to muddy the waters further:
Difference Between Loafers, Boat Shoes & Driving Shoes - Aquila
Boat shoes are a cousin of the men's loafer, but with one big difference: laces. Boat shoes, also known as deck shoes, top-siders or sailor shoes, often have 360-degree laces, where the laces actually thread around the heel of the shoe.

What would you wear with shorts?
Barefoot or those ‘invisible’ socks?
Always go with the socks myself with anything closed-toe (as per the trendspotter guide (yeah, go me)) but then they are way too hot on a hot day. Go sandals/open-toed to stay cool and then you’re back to the beach look which ain’t no good when needing more formal.
