Since late last year I've been working for British Telecom as a Directory Enquiries CSR. Basically this means I sit in front of a computer wearing a headset, acting as a human telephone directory. Customers call our service giving the name and address of the person or organisation they wish to...

Wow, that micro twin tub looks like it could be a lot of fun! Bigger than I thought it would be, too; having spotted it on eBay previously, the seller's pics made it look tiny. Regarding the availability of twin tubs, since production stopped here in the UK people are snapping up secondhand...

Louis, you have no idea how envious I am! Those are really nice ovens, in a whole different league to normal convection micros. Very good for everyday cooking, in fact many people find themselves using it more often than their regular oven. Have fun and enjoy :o).

Ariel is one of my favourites too, and is the detergent I buy most often and keep going back to because of its reliability. Always cleans well on the first attempt, and so far I haven't found a stain it won't shift. Mainly I use powder, but sometimes switch to liquid when I feel like a change...

Normally I do one load each evening, occasionally two, depending on what's in the basket. Clean clothes on every day, and I'm a "sorter", so my laundry for the week breaks down into the following: Jeans Socks and underwear Whites Lights Darks Duvet cover and pillowcases Quilted bed throw...

Hi all - Jon, There's that old saying "What doesn't kill you just makes you stronger", and I've always found this to be true when things get tough. When the situation can't get any worse, that means the only way is up. You just have to ride it out for a while, but things always get better in...

But do make sure first of all that the problem isn't caused by anything as simple as a leaking inlet hose or a blocked/restricted drain standpipe - it would be a good idea to pull the DW out first of all just to confirm that neither of these are the case. Although the unit is under warranty...

Hallequin, My Bosch dishwasher, which I've had almost a couple of weeks now, does exactly the same thing. Apparently this allows the machine to save water (only enough is needed to feed one spray arm at a time), and also reduces noise levels. While the machine is extremely quiet, if one...

Hi all, Do agree that, generally speaking, the more water used for rinsing the better the end result is. I don't see any sense in sending gallons of water down the drain for no practical reason, but you do have to strike a balance between conservation and performance. Using enough water to get...

Hi all, A couple of years back I saw a documentary on TV, with Elton John being interviewed at home - one of those "access all areas" kind of interviews. Did catch a very brief glimpse of his washer and dryer, and I'm 99% sure they were integrated Mieles with the cabinet doors. Definitely a...

Hi Arrrooohhh, It has indeed been quite a while, over the past year or two I haven't spent nearly as much time online as I used to, what with everything that's been going on. It's only now that things are starting to settle down and get back on track again, giving me the time (and, more...

Hi all, Haven't posted here for a long time, but saw this thread and as a former Neptune owner thought I might as well join in! First washer I ever bought was a Neptune 3000, along with the matching dryer, when I moved into my first home. Unfortunately I only had the set for just over a month...
