The shelf is mostly used for butter in my fridge, actually, but the flappy lid thing is still useful as there's not much front lip on that shelf. That said, if I couldn't have fixed it with glue and stainless steel wire, I'd not be paying £35 for a new one! Eggs indeed don't usually go in the fridge: in the UK, eggs aren't washed before sale, so the natural protective layer is still present. I hear that in the US, eggs must be washed, the layer is therefore lost and eggs required to be washed, the layer is lost and eggs need to be refrigerated.
