I have just discovered my Phoenix fridge magnet does not stick to my fridge. What's the story? has anyone else suffered from this? I have one of those silver fridges -so I don't know if that makes a difference.

Doesn't stick on mine either - had to put it on the rangehood and hoping it won't melt

Although magnets do stick to the side of the stainless steel fridges - but guess that's not a lot of use!

Just glue it on and be done with.

Three for me, and two for them.

It probably does. If it's got a brushed aluminum finish it won't be magnetic because it doesn't have any iron in it.

I think my wife insisted on a fridge with a brushed aluminum finish solely to get rid of my fridge magnet collection so it had to move to the gun safes which thankfully only come in steel.

The only things that stick on our s/s fridge are little fingerprints

Best bet is to have a 2mtr by 2mtr   40 millimeter thick steel plate welded to the front of the fridge, it holds up to 300 fridge magnets  and  also protects fridge from high velocity bullets , but be warned  it may  struggle against lightly armored tanks and mortar fire  for this i recommend  land mines next to the cats water bowl in the corner of the kitchen,works for me and its a great challenge to Tibby the tabbies  amazing agility.
 
Ps a simple camouflage web netting over the roof should deal with these pesky unwanted F16 air attacks and provides a pleasant summer shade for these late evening summer barbeque's!

No one tip off the cops...  if Broad Arrow also happens to be either a vegetarian, or an environmentalist or fixes bikes for free, or can spell the word Tuhoe then we will have one less in the crowd - coz a dozen cops will come in through his window armed to the teeth and drag him away -  and we may never know why

and the Prime Minister will tell us that he has broken the law before he even goes to trail (whatever happened to "innocent until proved guilty??")

or am i being paranoid about our paranoid security services?

Where do you stick your home delivery menus and steam cleaning ads if you can't use your fridge magnets?

No chance. I love red meat. I love V8s. And I am part of the environment. Oh, and most importantly, unlike the cowboys arrested by the police I have a firearms licence with all the necessary endorsements to do what I do.

What with? Glue? If a door has iron in it, the magnet will stick; but if it ain't got iron in it then no magnet is going to stick to it. They're magnets, not magic.

I don't know about the gun needing a licence but the person wishing to own either a .22 or a shotgun definately need a firearms licence.
