In fairness it is a Slovenian company. Most Slovenes do speak very good
English (better than some of us even) but a translation error like that
could easily slip through.

I know it's a Slovenian company -- although the group now includes
Asko of Sweden who actually build the ISE machines as well as machines
under their own name. Once had a dishwasher from Asko -- lasted quite
well. And spare parts for Gorenje aren't too bad -- they're available
from UK Whitegoods.

However, not to have material properly proof-read their public website
shows a sloppy attitude and, in this instance, reveals crass ignorance
of geography. If they employ crassly-ignorant people in one
department, they're likely to do the same in other departments. If
none of their UK staff have even read the website, then it doesn't say
much for them. Nor does it say much for them if they have read it!
Would they ever have the competence to get a repair person to the
correct address?

Slovenia is a little bit further than from the Isle of Wight than my
own address in the North of Scotland, but it's only the difference
between 700 miles and 1000 miles, so if I can get it right, then they
should be able to. If they're selling into the UK market they should
get it right.
