Is it worth buying a Miele Dishwasher???

Hi all, I am a bit of a Miele fan after my Miele washing machine has outlasted all of my previous Siemans/Bosch etc ones by a large margin - 10 years and still going strong (touch wood) I am asking since my Bosch Dishwasher has gone phutt in exactly the same way as my last Bosch and after a similar ...

Re: Are Miele machines worth the extra??

Definitely! We used to buy Bosch or Siemens washing machines and they lasted, on average, no more than 6 or 7 years. They seemed to fail because either the switchgear packed up (ie the rotary knob that selected the wash setting and rotated as it went through the cycle) or the door release mechanism ...

Re: Clapham South violent assault

This is truly disgusting and something more akin to the 3rd world. I can imagine anyone could be unfortunate enough to be on a late train and be targeted by these scum. I am also surprised that no description of these thugs, either by the poor victim or the Police, has been given - apart from the fa...

Very interesting - label a building as being "Super green" and you can get away with murder it seems!

Re: Crime due to LTN

During the disastrous Covid LTN that plagued the Beechcroft Road that bordered Trinity Road south of Wandsworth Common, crime rose considerably. The area was subject to roaming gangs of teenagers on (stolen?) scooters as well as a number on (borrowed?) e-bikes. They could whizz through the planter r...

Re: SCAM WARNING - Please Read

I always insist that our kids annotate a "desperate need for funds" message with the name of our cat to verify - something like "HELP I NEED A TOP UP AND MY PHONES BROKE _ TIDDLES" Lucky they've never had to send me one in real life. I have received a couple of scam texts without...
