He will then find there is a defect in the bearing or pullwey and need a
spare.
We used to make TVs in this country back in the early 70s, but they needed
a live in engineer for the first couple of months.

Are there any?

We are in the process of re-fitting a kitchen. SWMBO wants to fit only
white goods made in the UK. She vwas looking at Hotpoint until she was
told that they were made in china/far east. Are there any manufacturers
who make wquipment in the UK?

The only machine in the Hotpoint range that's made in the UK is their
tumble driers. Ours arrived Thursday of last week, from one of Amazon's
traders via DPD.

A few minutes into it's first drying cycle, it was clear that the cylinder
wasn't rotating. I informed Hotpoint and an engineer duly arrived. "Most
odd" said the engineer, "The belt has broken, doesn't happen often, I'll
have to order one from Bristol, where they're made".

So there's a new appointment for Thursday. You'd think he would carry a
spare belt to cover all tumble drier models? Shudder to think of the cost
of 2 visits, plus 2 lots of petrol. My advice : buy foreign, unless you
like music hall farces :- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyeMFSzPgGc
