Thanks all for the info but as luck would have it this week in lidl they have one its electric and has the usual mincing plates , a sausage stuffer (we are using my icing bag at the moment ) and an attachment to do paster so win win all round i can add paster to my things to crack.
i will just have to get hubby to fix me another socket.
i think the kenwood attachments cost about £30+ .you can get them mail order.
