When I first saw his BBC IP I did post saying that if the BBC canteen needed a new washer then perhaps the ISE 10 would be a better option. Then I thought better of it and pulled it. might be time for a subtle hint though.

KeymasterNa, sometimes pretending or ignoring that you know who someone is can or what they’re up to can be an advantage. 😉
IMO this may well be one such occasion on which it’s better to just STFU.

Honestly, sometimes it’s better just to STFU and leave it be.
BTW, I PM’d Deadhead and invited him to start a debate in the trade forum about Hoover. If he opens that door I just hope he’s prepared for a dollop of truth and a fair bit of vitriolic comment. 😉

Oh no, I don’t have to be funny to shoot down Hoover and/or Candy. To me, slagging them off, that’s like shooting fish in a barrel.

I invited him to have a debate in the trade forums as he’d get lamblasted I expect btu I just got a sorta snooty PM from him, the reply was…

Hoover never did the independents any favours really although, to be fair they were better than a lot of them, but still the always looked down their noses at us.
Then Candy bought them.
Hoover management got in and, back to the old ways.
In doing so they bankrupted quite a few independents, I was one of them, they owed us over £18,000. I binned well in excess of £5-7000 worth of stock to do their work that I had to pay for!
Now they try to pass out all the sh1t jobs they don’t want or can’t do and expect us to do it for peanuts.
And you wonder why I/we don’t like them much.
They have never supported us, why should we support them?
Maybe, just maybe it’ll start to slowly sink in.

And thats before you went for a drink, perhaps you did type frigid after all, and no it wasn’t me that altered that one. 😆Why don’t we use an ‘agent provocateur’ to post a ‘why are hoover s***e’ question in the general trade forum

I think macmini did us proud. 😀
Thing is, they’re okay but not that good. Not particularly great value for money these days and, if you as me, they’re feckin’ ugly.
It really gets me the “follow the leader” type mentality, we had the Aqualtis with it’s aquarium and now we have them trying to see who can fit the largest load into the smallest space for the lowest price, it’s farcical really. Hoover were in ERT last week with a fugly 9kg load machine and, knowing the tight bar stewards at Candy (the Fumagali family) it will still be running on the old Charme bearing assy. They used to tell us it was too expensive to change the tooling to accommodate larger bearing sizes.
Anyways I hope he’s got the message as he got another PM in response to his reply.

The Bosch 10kg machine looks just like an Aqualtis in the adverts. 😥

For what it’s worth, MM wants to be an engineer – Megan are looking but MM’s not hands on yet – anyone know anyone there? Quiet word perhaps?
Surely if you want a “big one”, you just buy an AWM9000 and find a hole big enough?
Greg, it’s all yours,
Chris.
