Being filmed like a criminal.

I'm in my mid-fifties and am only on my second ever washing machine. For years, I lived in places where I had the shared use of someone else's machine or no machine at all and used the launderette.


What I began to do part way through the life of Machine 1 (also a Bosch) was to record the number of washes per month. Bosch 1 failed at 9 years and 2 months old. Electrical fault - the mere investigation of same would have started with a £75 call-out charge (I did all the easy investigations such as fuses myself). That was a sub-£300 machine.



Bosch 2 has been running for 5 years this month, for an annual cost of £75.60 or 85p per load for the machine price part of the equation. Obviously, the longer it lasts, the cheaper its cost will turn out to be.



This is satisfactory, I hope that it will last another 5 years, as I do not have the technical skills to do the more advanced repairs, although I hold those who do in hearty respect. If it keels over with anything requiring skills I do not have, they will not be able to be bought in economically, and it will be replaced.

Years ago there were water fountains. On hikes/bike rides I used to call at shops, houses, cafes. With my metal flask, asking for water.

OK That was 50 years ago so I was ahead of my time.
Rarely buy water. Except in India.

Now we can refill our bottles in many places. Most coffee shops and cafes will have drinking water available. Thoroughly MSE ?
I have to blame the older generation who taught me to be prepared and told me that in the war they carried metal flasks. So when runners go round Regents Park, take a refillable bottle. Saves the Planet , although the Planet will save itself. Tis only us 'umans that want to save us 'umans. The Planet doesn't care an atom about 'umans!

Cafes will refill your water bottles? I had no idea. Is this just in certain areas?

Not sure how you find them without an app. Any links to an online map?
