    No doubt that buying expensive kitchen stuff can cause probs, and not last well. But some, like mine have outlasted any expectations

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    No but we copied most of the law over into UK law as required and I'm not sure there's been a wholesale repeal of all those laws (yet).

    Correct. Also the EU mandate a minimum of 2 years warranty, English Law actually goes further than that.

    They build the web sites to avoid any way of direct contact unless you dig real deep

    I eventually managed after 6 press this for that requests to speak to a opperator who point blank said the guatrantee is for 1 year , I mentioned the trading standards fit for purpose 3 year minimum an she repeated the guarantee is 1 year

    Where do I go now
    yes since covid they have been a total disaster with contact . i bought a laptop not the same as the pictures and gave up trying to contact them

    Personally I try to buy from John Lewis or Richer Sounds these days. Both offer a proper guarantee

    Have a listen to BBC Three Counties Radio weekdays 11 AM to 12:30 PM. Jonathan Vernon-Smith. "Last a reasonable time" I think is phrase that applies. Retailers conveniently deny knowledge of this. Your supplier is often guilty of this and have been put right by the program several times. You should be able to get something done, failing this, the small claims court as others have suggested. You will win.

    Personally I wouldn't bother chasing it up. It'll end up costing more than the price of a new one. Just buy a cheap one, they're no worse than expensive ones for reliability.
