Yes they are that good. I managed a shop selling white goods and I would definitely recommend Miele if you can stretch to it.
Zanussi/Electrolux (same thing, different box) if you can't.
Personally, I'd get a better free standing appliance rather than a worse built in one. The price is likely to be about the same. Excepting cookers. Food goes down the side of cookers.
Thanks both. I will be getting free standing, because not getting the kitchen for a few years! The washing machine will be in a utility room. I can have housing made later if it bothers me. I already have a free standing cooker. This cooker might go somewhere else in the future...or not. I'm not that romantically hooked on a range (having lived with them the only thing I miss from them is toast and warmth) so bought a big cooker instead, but tbh, though its ok, this cooker, its not my dream machine.
OK, so the cutlery think is a goer. good. Its he worst part of a dishwasher imo....cutlery baskets.0 -
That's what MIL thought, but her fellow unpicked jurors could talk for England, she couldn't get a moment's peace.
My mother did jury service at Southwark Crown Court when we were all still at school. My Dad had a quick squiz at the lists to check there were no 6 month trials starting, but there weren't, so she was safe.
She did a day-long trial, and a 3 day one, in the fortnight. She also read 4 novels and knitted an entire jumper (-:...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -
I was in a magistrates court once for a damages case after a car crash. I was petrified, even though we were only sitting round a table. The judge had toy cars on the table to re-enact the scene and was really friendly, but I was so scared I'm sure I sounded guilty.
I'm 99% sure (beyond reasonable doubt) that this was the County Court (civil) and not the Mags (criminal).
County court judges have great collections of toy cars and lorries (-:...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -
May be some our resident legals could help out with 'beyond reasonable doubt' - I think this is very difficult for a lay person - say you are 90% sure the defendant is guilty but they have provided a possible (but unlikely) alternative in which they are not guilty - is that 'reasonable doubt'? How about if it is 95% or 98% likely?
"Believe so that you are sure" is the current phrase in vogue in Crown Court summings up....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

What training do the jury get? There ought at least to be a FAQs, and that ought to be in it. Along with: Don't go searching the www because you should only take into account evidence given in court. I suspect, but don't know, that the jury may only get told not to search the www, but not why.
All the judges I've heard dealing with juries do say why....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -
You could be right. I wasn't going to settle knock for knock as it would have effected my no claims bonus. legal protection on car insurance, so the insurer sent a barrister to defend me. As did other side. Actual damage to my car turned out to cost about £300, other car had dents that they hadn't bothered to fix before the court case, so probably similar amount.
Instead we went to court, us, them, two barristers plus the repair costs, court time etc.
Well, you have to have the courts to deal with the cases which don't settle, but they should be regarded as a last resort IMHO.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0 -
Dear oh dear! the riff-raff are even attending RA now :eek:

only the riff raff go to ascot, it's a hideous occassion almost entirely populated by chavs which should be avoided at all costs.0 -

Bought our Miele washer in 1998 and it's still going strong. We had to get the door seal replaced and at that time the repair man said we'd used the machine for 16,000 hours. They are expected to last at least for 20,000.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0 -
