    Re: I ripped their floor vinyl.

    I found trouble with furniture polish is that it leaves the floor extremely slippery, an accident waiting to happen.

    On lino, wooden or tiled floors the glisdomes are excellent.

    Or a cheaper option, some good old fashioned washing up liquid, or conditioner even, does the job.

    As there is still some cusion flooring out there, as in this case, on going it might be prudent to invest in some plastic/perspex sheeting which can be placed under the appliance front feet to pull out on to. If the flooring goes all the way under the worktop/unit then a piece the size of the appliance footprint can be left in-situ and the appliance pushed back onto. Again, a possible little earner.

    Yeah, put the squeeze on the actual workers!

    Re: Big Brother yet again

    Don’t wanna appear apathetic but this could get very political so I shall refrain from commenting in case I upset anybody or shoot myself in the foot re assistance from anyone who has different political leanings.

    Of course, no one may care two figs what I think! 🙂

    Re: Whens a recall not a recall ??

    My experience is that most insurance companies don’t have any technical expertise in their call centres so they will automatically treat all calls within a defined period (refer to individual contract) as a recall.
    However, the claims/authorisation team should be prepared to accept a technical explanation as to why it is NOT a recall.
    Whether the claims/authorisation teams have any one relevantly technical is another matter! 😉

    Re: Guarantee’s

    “If you want to dispute a claim by a consumer for a repair or replacement, remember that for the first six months it’s up to you to prove that the fault was not present at the time of sale. However, after six months it’s up to the consumer to prove that the goods were faulty when sold.”

    I’ve had all those you’ve listed ok not had 12 jobs a day but had 13 while working in Glasgow.

    Then you know full well that the job IS stressfull and at times nigh on impossible for a field ‘engineer’ (have to be careful with wording!) to do and also maintain a reasonably harmonious and rewarding family life.
    If you have no experience of family responsibility then fair enough, things are less complicated however, if you dispute my observation then… hmmm.

    There is simply too much emphasis on the chap at the sharp end pulling out all the stops to for the customer for very little reward and recognition.

    I worked with an ex RAF fella some years ago and he was a superb engineer and like you very diligent and capable.
    All the best.

    Lovely.

    Erm…

    Worked in inner city at all?
    12 jobs a day?
    Experienced daily traffic jams?
    Been stressed out by the terror drivers of the inner city?
    Flitted from one post code to another (and back!) without any indication of job planning having been done (“Well it’s only an inch on the map”!)?
    Lunch?!!
    Had to put up with riff-raff customers who want to stab you if you can’t fix it there and then?
    Been told by a big oaf that you’re not leaving his home unless the appliance is fixed?
    Not had anywhere to park remotely near the property you’re visiting ?
    If you can park, ever feared that you might not have a vehicle where you left it?
    Attended to cockroach infested properties on run down council estates?

    Etc ad nauseum. 😥
