    Re: The worlds worst kitchen thread!

    I had far worse a couple of years back, gave it my WP at the time and he reckoned that Curry’s used the pics in their staff training (Was a Mastercare job).

    I’ll see if I can dig em out off my old phone.

    There’s normally a ‘TH’ number on the stat that will identify it.

    One of the few advantages of carrying a Sat Nav these days is that it knows within a metre or two where in the road the actual number is. On long and busy main roads that aspect of the system is brilliant. It knows which side of the road to stop and isn’t fazed by missing door numbers either! 😉


    No use when they only have a house name or don’t give you the number, but generally yes they can be a godsend.

    Re: Whats the most annoying thing customers do?

    Had this before but just had another today so I thought I’d get it off my chest here.

    Had a call booked in for a ****** Farm on Belper road out in the sticks. (I won’t say the name of the farm or which village to protect the stupid). The road is approximately 3 miles long. All it said on the job sheet was the above, nothing else.

    After travelling up and down the road once each way I stop at a local Post Office to buy some lunch and ask there at the same time. Nope, they didn’t know. I then phoned the customer and asked her for directions. Well, after 10 minutes of persuading her I was in the correct village (she insisted hers didn’t have a P.O.) she eventually told me that her house was on the left hand side three doors down from the barbers shop.
    I set off and after two or three journeys up and down the road I gave up and phoned her again. Ok she says, this time I’ll stand at the end of my drive and keep a look out for you.
    Sure enough about two miles down the road there was a woman at the end of her drive looking out for me in my van. I pull up and the first thing I ask is ‘where’s the barber shop?’
    Oh she say that closed three years ago and is just an ordinary house now, but we still call it that. 😯 It got even worse when I walked up her drive and saw the no.45 on her door!!!!!!


    Arrrggghhhh I feckin hate the sods when they do this stuff!!!!!

    Sorry to bump this, but could really do with some info.

    In the end I may end up passing the customer to AEG, but as that’s a ten day wait for an engineer, she won’t be too pleased with that.

    Re: Conversion of intergrated to freestanding.

    Bosch do a shallow depth wm which I’ve used for these situations. Obviously these take a smaller load but are easily accommodated into the space.

    As for the hinges, yes they will have to go on the cabinet, if you’re lucky there’s two circular recessed holes ready to take the hinges, if not then it’s off to B&Q 🙂

    WLX24162 is the model number.

    Re: Electrolux DTC 50 CE cooker, can’t find parts listing.

    There wasn’t one 🙁

    All that’s left where the label was is a brown square of sticky stuff …

    I have a (bad) photo of it on my phone camera, I’ll see if I can match it up.

    So, when you take your car in for a new exhaust, if the piston rings blow within the next month your garage will fix them FOC?

    I don’t think so.

    Yeah, at £8 minimum a question that’s not a bad living.

    They’re having a laugh!

    Someone should ask them why pay them when they can go to UK whitegoods for free, and probably get a better/impartial answer?

    Curry’s loss is your gain Squadman, I hope you took full advantage and made a sale as well as showing her how ‘service’ should be.

    You have two sides, one out in the field and one in.
    Each player that’s in the side that’s in, goes out, and when he’s out, he comes in and the next player goes in until he’s out.
    When they are all out the side that’s out comes in and the side that’s been in goes out and tries to get those coming in out.
    Sometimes you get players still in and not out.
    When both sides have been in and out including the not-outs, that’s the end of the game. 😆

    Simple when you know I spose…
