Kitchen Scales.

N: …I made someone buy kitchen scales like that for me. So at one point I asked my ex to bake me a cake. I didn’t have a measuring scale, I could just about do it without.

A: I wouldn’t do that, that’s not my style, cup measurements are imprecise…although you can make yourskshire pudding.

N: Well, you can just about make a cake, can’t you?

A: Well, yeah, I can.

N: So anyway, he refused to do it without scales, and went out and bought them.

A: If it was me, I would just make you a cake in a mug in a microwave and went “here you go”.

N: I didn’t have a microwave.

A: I would have found a staff room microwave and made there.

N: I wasn’t asking about what you would do.

A: Well your story wasn’t very interesting, and if I didn’t say anything, the conversation would have died.
