Not that I've ever hankered after one, you understand. In fact, rather like a lot of things in life, I couldn't quite grasp what was so great about them, stood as they were, in the middle of a room with a chopping board on top and wheels on the bottom. A strange, superfluous contraption, more statement than stately. Not surprisingly, they didn't last long as a trend.
Maybe, in the past, I was outside too much to worry about the latest in kitchen innovations, but now I'm CONFINED TO BARRACKS, I'm getting a feel for the reasons they went out of style - apart from the fact they were able to successfully combine the triple Salchow of gadgets, the gold seal of gold seals, the 3 P's:
PUG UGLY, PRETENTIOUS, PRICEY.

I guess mine fails on the pretentious bit, but by making myself BELIEVE it's a real KITCHEN ISLAND THINGY, it immediately ticks it's own box, in a most pleasingly pretentious manner. It gets full marks for the 2 other 'P's.
So
HERE, JUST FOR YOU, I PRESENT, MY ONE, MY ONLY,

KITCHEN ISLAND THINGY.
Already I'm having second thoughts, even though it holds a tea tray very securely, an essential in any Cotswold home.
