Quartz worktops concern

Not sure. He's the labourer, and apparently gets his "gen" from Facebook...

I have a friend like that, Deaf Geoff from down The Swan, who reckons he invented the Soda Stream.

I'll have you know, they put across a very convincing argument.

Well the Reclining Pair website proclaims it's from:

...two fools dangerously circling the plughole of midlife crisis.

No arguments from me, then. Been there, etc

3 minutes of what?

3 minutes of what?

3 minutes of reading something that is a parody post.

Why didn't you post it in the "general discussion sub forum"?

My concerns were real, and I thought I was posting in the more general forum....

But noted

Maybe you should get a watch with a quartz movement rather than a mechanical one, FMT

Probably concerned that he'd have to exorcise it regularly

Not my job. I'll tell the missus the same thing as when we got the dog.

You want it - you have to exorcise it.

A quartz crystal in a watch/pc/phone is just a very well made tuning fork. It is very carefully cut from a pure, defect free man made large crystal of quartz.

Quartz Crystal Cuts: AT, BT, SC, CT . . » Electronics Notes

The angle to the main crystal axes at which a crystal blank is cut has a major impact on its performance. Popular cuts like AT, BT, SC, CT give known performance . . find out more

that gives an introduction to what makes them suitable.
Some random bit of quartz grown in the ground with multiple overlapping crystals is not going to work as a suitable tuning fork.
The "quartz" worktops are just sand filled plastic, so you are using a plastic infused bit of beach. Described like that you can see it is not going to need any exorcizing. Does not make it a good location for a pina colada either!
