Greg🙁
I’ve had to cancel booking at the hotel, due to lack of funds. I’m going on holiday, and just getting back in time for the meeting.
I will be there for the two meetings tho 😀 :stir: The venue is very close to GB HQ.
Re: Is SAMSUNG J1453SGS/XEU washing machine any good?
It probably is the carbons that need fixing in your motor.
£50ish? Depending on where you’re located?
Try repairs@ :call:
Ps. I wouldn’t recommend the Samsung!
Re: Polystyrene
That was the problem :bang:
I was having some building work done in the workshop (got rid of all the wood-worm 😀 ) and i emptied the shop display stands to store random stuff on.
Then I re-stocked all my display units at the same time; hence, big pile of polystrene!

Question – Is it bad to burn Polystyrene
Some scientists wrote:In therory is should be safe to burn polystyrene, but in reality, dont do it!
Years ago, expanded polystyrene (polystyrene foam) was “expanded” with CFC gases, probably because CFCs were cheap, easily available and easy to use. As concerns with ozone depletion emerged, producers of polystyrene foam in industrialized nations joined aerosol packagers in switching to safer gases (principally nitrogen) for propellant and expansion of polystyrene foam.
Without trapped CFCs, combustion of polystyrene yields CO2 and water, some odd volatile pieces, and carbon soot (due to the unsaturated bonds). But, why burn polystyrene foam? It is one of the most under-recycled substances in the world today. It requires less resources (particularly water) to recycle than paper (too bad McDonalds went to paper boxes!) Producers of egg cartons and meat trays beg and plead with municipalities to include EPS and PS in their collections so they can “make it go around again.”
Perhaps not so obvious — if the polystyrene is printed [as it is likely
to be, if the source of polystyrene is some sort of packaging], the ink
pigments, which commonly contain non-combustible compounds, may produce respirable dusts upon combustion. Chemical compounds containing titanium, copper, iron, zinc, aluminum, calcium, barium, phosphorus, and silicon are all common components of various pigments used in packaging printing inks.Better to recycle than to burn polystyrene.

APG we like jokes but you have gone too far with that one. Keep em clean please. Remember we have ladies also reading these forums 🙂
GregOn that theme…
An Essex girl and an Irish guy are in a bar when the Essex Girl notices something strange about the wellies the Irish guy is wearing.
She says, “Scuse me mate, I aint being funny or nuffink, but why doz one of your wellies ‘ave an L on it and the uva one’s got an R on it?”
The Irish guy smiles, puts down his glass of Guinness and replies, “Well, oim little bit tick you see. The one wit the R on it is for me roight foot and the one wit the L is for me Left foot”
“Cor blimey,” exclaims the Essex girl, “So THATS why me knickers ‘ave got C&A on them!”
Re: Bosch or Zanussi washing machine?
A drum change on the Bosch aren’t exactly easy either 😕
You have to cut off the tabs holding the drum together, then find a load of screws to reseal it!
But I’d still sell the Bosch over the Zanussi 😛
My line-up is…
Bosch – £300
ISE – £400
Siemens – £500Then you bounce the ISE off the Bosch and the Siemens, and sell the ISE everytime 😀
Re: Bespoke kitchen ding dong!
GB senior is really upset now 🙁
He’s got to go back to a dishwasher that surrounded (on 4 sides) by that expanding foam stuff :bang:
The plinths are stuck solid either side of it, and it won’t bunge! There’s so much of that foam stuff about, that whoever install the dishwasher has had to cut out a chunk of it, from under the appliance, so the door opens 😕
Re: How easy we engineers have it now!
GB senior has just seen me reading this thread, and now he’s talking about a Commer Cobb? C-reg, with no heater. What the ‘H’ is a Commer Cobb? Then he says he was upgraded to a Morris Minor, with a heater 🙂
He’s a little upset actually 🙁 He went to fix a twin tub last week. He always asks the customers how they got in touch with us, and this one said…
“I rung ********* Services, and they siad that they didn’t have an engineer old enough to fix twin tubs! Ring Grahame 👿
Re: New world grill element
Got it! 😀
The lady at Stoves said that it’s probably a 208520085. So GB senior has cocked up writing down a model number, again :bang:
And the o.o.s element is a…
081583305 – £32
Connections have it for £16 tho 🙂
Cheers Dave!

No, the problem is getting the money out of them for a return :tomato:
I find, with a return, they organise an uplift with DSL (usually the next day) and it always happens for me 😕
