Absolutely ginge. My grandmother used to prepare the most wonderful food in a kitchen not much bigger than a cupboard. Just a sink, cooker an old fashioned dresser and a table for a work surface.
I am comfortable with my kitchen, the fact that is old doesn't worry me one bit.
What I really think is funny (I am not saying you are like this zzxxee) is that some young folks insist on fantastic kitchens with every conceivable gadget, and they can't boil an egg and eat out or have takeaways.
