Colin's first reaction was, 'Oh, she must have turned the dial the wrong way,' which I denied on your behalf, and in any case these things are designed to stand up to kids and men (and housewives in a temper) so one Kat shouldn't have been able to do anything drastic. However, when he actually looked, he said he thought it was probably suffering from plastic fatigue of some kind and was just waiting for the next unsuspecting person to touch it!! And it didn't cost anything unless you can work out what a teaspoolnful of glue out of a big container might be worth!!!!
