Re: broadband
I’m confused by that BT speed test link:
File download size Minimum download time expected @ 500kbit/s
Small (5 Mbytes) 1 minute 45 seconds
Medium (10 Mbytes) 3 minutes
Large (15 Mbytes) 4 minutes 30 secondsIs 2 Meg Broadband 2 million bits per second, not 2 million bytes?

Edited by Kevin,What, even the old indesits with the enamel tub and centre bearing hub? I always found that if I didn’t lay them on their front before re-assembly the weight of the backplate would distort the tub seal and the machine would leak

Re: broadband
Have you ever checked that you actually get 2 meg? mine is supposed to be 1 meg but I’ve known it go as slow as 16 k, i.e. slower than a dial-up. BT were always good at ripping off businesses.
Re: Corgi registration.
£700 for the boiler and about the same again to have it installed. I would pay the £300 ( I wouldn’t actually, I would have a good go at getting the board repaired).
Re: Corgi registration.
Your comments Re. boilers surprise me. In the appliance business we are up against the throw away society. It started off with kettles, irons, toasters etc. and now a lot of people sling the bigger appliances rather than pay someone to repair them. With a gas cooker they can go to Comet or such places, buy a new one and plug it in. With a central heating boiler they can’t just tear that off the wall and nail a new one up so they have to call in the experts.

😆Re: Corgi registration.
If you were thinking in terms of doing gas cookers, fires, tumble driers etc I would have thought it more trouble than it’s worth. The money is in central heating boiler servicing and repairs. A lot of the older guys are struggling with the amount of electronics in modern boilers so there are openings for anyone good at diagnostics.

A bit too cryptic for me 😕 Do you mean sell them a new machine? A lot of us don’t sell new appliances.Re: Bosch WFT2800GB/13

Sounds like you have now purchased 2 end caps to change one set of brushes. Now that IS expensive. 😯
