We're new to the area & London, and are wondering who/where we should buy a washer and a dryer from? We need separate machines.

Also, any recommendations on energy-efficient ones that have short 30-minute cycles, and don't continue to beep until they're shut off 🙂

Thanks!

Which magazine is the best for recommendations. We purchased a Miele in 2008 from PC world which is still going strong. Prices now over £1000.. Prior to that we had a Zanussi for over 10 years. Bosch is good, Hotpoint's are usually rubbish (my stepdaughter has got through 3 in less than 10 years)

We buy most of our electrical from PC World  or John Lewis.

I have a Miele washing machine which I'm very happy with, but I did get it at a good price when it was on offer.

No bleeping, and it has a twenty minute wash at 40 degrees which is fine for most things, but lots of other programmes plus you can give things an extra spin if you want to save on drying time.

It has never gone wrong (I'm probably tempting fate by saying that!)

I would never use John Lewis again for electrical goods (or laptops).  It would take too long to describe all the reasons why, but I have given them too many chances now, and never never again.

For my fridge freezer I checked out the models physically in John Lewis, but then  bought from AO. And no I didn't think that was unfair of me, because the customer service I got from John Lewis on that occasion also  was abysmal 😡

      Cat Flap

      By Pugwash · Posted

      Having had several cats over the past 40 years - mainly rescue, we have a tried and tested routine, Initially confined to one room with litter tray/food/water - we take it in turns to stay for a few minutes several times a day so they become familiar with our scent. They are gradually introduced to the rest of the house. We have a wire cat basket and we place cat in basket and take them outside, over a few days we place basket in different areas of the garden - grass area/gravel area, patio area etc - different flowers/plants. Some of the more nervous cats we walk around the garden on a lead. They get use to the scent of the garden. We have a cat flap in the back door so they have full access - If we need to keep cat in - just block off the cat flap so they cannot escape! We are now down to one elderly cat - who during the summer just laid on the garden chairs and came in for food, but as weather getting colder prefers to sit on a worktop in the kitchen looking out into the garden. So we are back to the cat litter as she is reluctant to go out in the rain/cold.

      Looking for good wifi suggestions please!

      With fibre you are paying for the speed, which is the number, yours is 300 so if you did a lot of gaming, for example, you would want the fastest possible.  If it's just office work or maybe streaming on Netflix you likely won't need as fast, but, if there are a lot of people in your house all doing their own thing on different devices, then faster speeds are better.  I don't rely on my Wi-Fi much other than when I am using my mobile.  I use Ethernet cables to connect up everything, I Have one cable running from my router, along the skirtings and through a hole I drilled in the wall to another room.  I have attached the plusnet speed guide which gives you an idea of how it works.

      Should facial recognition be mandatory for retail outlets?

      I'd reread what you posted and try to summarise.  It just comes across as a rant.

      Really like living in a country where big brother is  looking at you -, not that it is likely to happen in UK but crime should have stricter consequences.. not just put into jail which I gather is where more bad habits are learnt.
