Mark, absolutely brilliant! The other half did well in Latin, something about one of the last in Scotland to get a higher grade in it and she told me to go forth when I asked her to translate. 😕
Mrs P, you actually moved to England? I fail to understand the reasoning for a decision such as that! :rotfl:
Oh and guys, if I were you, I’d translate PDQ. 😉

Re: Hmmm.. I wish
Jetsystem does work, after a fashion.
The concept is simple and it was a legitimate way to reduce the water intake and therefore the power used as you soak the load faster then use the old “batter it off rocks” train of thought to remove the dirt particles. Sound idea, unless you have an even basic knowledge of chemistry.
For dirt removal where it’s particulate matter then that’s fine in theory but when it’s grease or oil detergent is still oh so important and, whilst the detergent quantity can be lowered due to the reduction in water volume, it is still required in a proper dose for the amount of water, water hardness and the degree of soiling.
The thing is, with Zanussi’s Jetsystem, that the water is sprayed through an outlet at the top of the door, ever wonder why that is? Well it’s for two reasons, one is technical whereby it’s the only place that it could be done without involving massive expense in developing some way to get it over the clothing any other way. But the primary reason is that the customer can see it! Yep, tis what I was told by a nice chap from Zanussi.
Turns out that paddle scoops are just as effective, a damn sight cheaper and more reliable than a recirc pump and the associated blockage problems. 😉
And we wonder why customers are confused!

Re: First Post In An Undiscovered Country
There’s no problem Sean and I don’t even really have a problem with Jason or Mark either, but they will do what’s best in their own interest which is a good thing as at least you can see what and why they do stuff, even if I don’t get it at times. Like getting back into NESN’s pants so quickly, but heh, it’s their call.
The loose canons are Walter and Scott, Ian Patterson, possibly Dave Pannell, the Levitts and increasingly, Neil as well. Politically there is good call to keep DASA as it is at the moment from the manufacturers and WPs etc. as it can be controlled whereas we cannot be and that’s the scary bit. As in, dangle some work/money in front of the aforementioned including Jason and Mark and Bob’s yer uncle, you just bought a DASA Council vote. This is the reason that the manufacturers et all are interested as well as the fact that some of the voices in DASA are influential within the trade to some extent and it is therefore prudent, for all the cost, to stay in touch. Exactly the same reasoning on the last part that I viewed UKW associate membership with.
In short, it’s politics.
As for the members thing, I do not disagree with you but I have to ask, what’s the bill going to be in the end? You see, I do not for a second believe that this will happen with no cost on some level, just what it is we’ve yet to see. You also have to remember that on the council there will be massive resistance to this happening.
You may as well know that I decided against paying to be in DASA for NWAR for another year as I just could not reconcile the cost to benefit ratio of it. My reasoning was that I had done a shitload of work for DASA over the past year or so, including all sorts as you well know and all they could do by way of a thank you is to hold out their hand for more money. Money, I will add, that they do not need since the removal of Chris as they have a surplus of funds right now. They haven’t even offered to recompence me for the cost of of the logo FFS which is, quite frankly, an insult.
So I am no longer a council member and I do not have access to the DASA forums as they kicked me out the other night. And even in doing that they didn’t even have the courtesy to send people an email to tell them.
I am not going to say anything on the subject unless asked or it crops up and I’m not going to make life hard for them, which I could easily do, as that’s not cricket. But let’s just say I’m less than impressed and I am only to acutely aware that there are those that are probably pretty joyful that I’m no longer privy to the info there.
As for the meeting, I’m more than happy to have it on the proviso’s given that an agenda is produced more than two weeks in advance and that FF ain’t there.

That’s odd Mike. If you resenrd the mail to me on kwatt@ukwhitegoods.co.uk or .com I’ll make sure it gets to Jess for you.
K.
Slappy,
Someone, if they know will answer the query, probably Woz when he sees it as he’s the resident Homark guru but I suspect all he will be able to advise is to try Caremark.
I have deleted the original post you made.

Re: First Post In An Undiscovered Country
Correct, I’m not paying a full year for a third of it, full stop!
This, in effect by the letter of the law, means that we have no right to attend a council meeting, only the AGM as guests. Methinks that DASA’s own rules work against it… AGAIN!
So it’s pretty much up in the air for now until Jason or Mark gets back to us.
We’re not at each others throats at all Sean, it’s just that if its not done right then there will be calls of a foul, just as that’s the way it is with DASA.
It’s just this simple, regardless of what DASA does or says we just get on with it, if they have a problem with that then too bad IMO.

Could be any one of a number of things I’m afraid and I’d have to recommend an engineer for you in this case.
Try Repairs@ and see if there’s someone in your area, the link is <<<<<over there.
K.
Or mail Jess on spares@ukwhitegoods.co.uk and she’ll sort one out for you once you have the details.
K.
😆
A few words with Julie and you’re well sorted, bit like the dog with the high-pitched bark! :rotfl:
K.
Heh, Gegsy you do know that Sean’s gonna send you to any call that there’s barking on the phone now don’t you? And I don’t just mean barking as in, “that woman’s barking!” :rotfl:

Re: Capel dishwashers
Oh yeah, I think PABL are buying from Haeir as well now.
Oh the fun of it all.
K.
Sod it, moved this to trade tech. as Walnut now has trade access and can still get to this now.
As per Kirk’s post earlier can we watch it in the public forums… live testing… public… hardly a good combination! Half of them struggle to tell you the fault correctly let alone letting them play with electricity, heaven forbid!
