Re: Zanussi FM56 Oven
Only ever been 1 FM56. No pnc numbers existed in those days, life was simpler.
50170087006 not in stock at Connect, but I do have one. 3570524011 not recognised at Connect.
P.M. sent Alex
Re: Zanussi FM56 Oven
Thought you had the number for the switch?
Was 50025920005, changed to 50170087006 now 3570524011.
If you are stuck, according to my computer we have one.

Re: Zanussi FM56 Oven
Top oven stat 50026500004
M/Oven 50026504006, obsolete. All is not lost, we use either 50170474006 or 50220190002 Both will fit. Strangely the long capillary B/Oven stat 50026500004, will fit both, just means coiling some of the excess up.
FM56, early 80’s, I knew these numbers off by heart, they are right though as I did look them up to confirm.

Re: Has anybody heard more to the rumor regarding lec
The Lec work moved over to Glen Dimplex Autumn 2005. As far as I know they are handling it in their own inimitable way. Make of that what you wish.
We were Lec agents, but things were not as good after the changeover. They tried to pre-daignose the work, and not too succesfully. They also refused to let us open an account, meaning all I/G repairs parts were supplied f.o.c. but insurance & chargeable we had to source from Connect. One bit of good did come from it, they upped the rate by over 45{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} overnight.
After so long I terminated, it wasn’t for my business. The strange thing was, they had inherited the Beko refrigeration from the demise of Expert Refrigeration, but would rarely pass us the work, despite them not having refrigeration experience themselves. Suspect that was down to budget and forecasts when they accepted the contract.
Suppose they knew what they were doing. Something must be working as they are still doing it.

Re: It has been suggested…
Can we have a date on this?
Need to see if I can do it, busy time of year with staff using up their holidays before March 31st.

Re: Whens a recall not a recall ??
Fact of life I’m afraid. Some of them expect us to guarantee the whole appliance, parts as well for up to 3 months. That is worst case though, and I would not work for any company that try that one on me. Most companies expect us to honour the labour for the 1st 30 days, some are 60 days, some are 90 days.
Any parts fitted on insurance have to be guaranteed for 12 Months, and that will include the labour. All very well, but you make very little on the bit, and they enjoy a discounted labour rate.
No wonder I shall never afford to retire.

Re: The cheek
He has had that one a long time. When UKW went .com as well as .org .net was looked at. I’m surprised Ken didn’t remember that it was taken.
Why worry?

Re: An old friend perhaps
I saw somewhere that S.Power had also grabbed the Glen Dimplex work from N.E.S.N. as well.
Terry Jackson from S/Power insisted that Mr T was only a glorified salesman, shows what little he knows.

Re: Another joke.
All the obituaries written about Saddam so far have been incomplete,
as all omitted a complete listing of his surviving sons and daughters.
A corrected list is as follows:Saddam was pre-deceased by two sons, Uday and Qusay,
and is survived by 15 sons:Sooflay, a restauranteur
Guday, who lives in Australia
Huray, a sports fanatic
Sashay, who is gay
Kuntay and Kintay, twins living in Africa
Sayhay, a baseball player
Ojay, a stalker and murderer
Gulay, a singer and entertainer
Ebay, an internet entrepreneur
Biliray, a country music star
Ecksray, a radiologist
Puray, a manufacturer of kitchen blenders
Raygay, who lives in Jamaica
Tupay, who is bald,and by seven daughters:
Lattay, a coffee-shop owner
Bufay, a big eater
Dushay, owner of a feminine-care-products company
Phayray, an actress
Sapheway, a grocery store owner
Ollay, who lives in Mexico
Gudlay, a prostitute.There is reported to be another surviving son, Oyvay,
but he is said to have been disowned by the family.Re: You are kidding
Back to the subject.
Take a look at a bottle of Nytol, (sleeping tablets).
Warning, may cause drowsiness, do not drive or operate machinery.
As Ken says there is a long list, including the kids Superman outfit with the warning, “This suit does not give the power of flight”. (Hard luck Penguin).
Why do thay say on some packets, MAY Contain nuts! It either does or doesn’t, make your minds up.

Re: Before It’s Removed…
I posted this some time ago, thought it appropriate though
PRACTICAL TIPS ON BATHING A CAT1. Thoroughly clean the toilet.
2. Add the required amount of shampoo to the toilet water and have both lids up.
3. Find the cat and soothe him while you carry him towards the bathroom.
4. In one smooth movement, put the cat in the toilet and close both lids. (You may need to stand on the lid so that he cannot escape.) The cat will self-agitate and make ample suds. Never mind the noises that come from your toilet, the cat is actually enjoying this.
CAUTION: Do not get any part of your body too close to the edge, as his paws will be reaching out for anything they can find.
5. Flush the toilet three or four times. This provides a Power Wash and Rinse, which I have found to be quite effective.
6. Have someone open the door to the outside and ensure that there are no people between the toilet and the outside door.
7. Stand behind the toilet as far as you can, and quickly lift both lids.
8. The now clean cat will rocket out of the toilet, and run outside where he will dry himself.

Still think 30 mins would be enough with the current format. You gotta admit, Meercat Manor is far more interesting.Oh My God, I forgot him, Had the combe-over from the back, only guy I ever saw with a horizontal parting across the rear of his scalp.
What about pood old Tony Mason, lovely guy, good in his rallying days, but not Media friendly. Then there was the motor bike king Steve Berry, (pronounced Burry). Boring or what.
I think Ken summed it up, leave as is, all round lads entertainmant.

Re: Top Gear!
That shows there is no accounting for taste. Not as crass as 5th gear. They will put Tiff Nedell in a micra, and Quentin Willson in a Dodge Viper
Going back to T.G. I loved the Toyota pick-up thing, as well as the conversion to Aqua Cars, and the challenges set up with a luxury car for under £300. Remember it started with Angela Rippon and Noel (tidy beard) Edmonds. You can’t say it hasn’t progressed.
Perhaps as they are trying to account for a wide spectrum, and make the show fit a prime time slot, that is why it works to a degree. What is useless filling for one may be an integral part for another.
Bring back channel 4’s “Driven” with Jason Plato, Penny Mallory & Mike Brewer.
