I live off the road and no one can ever find me, so I always arrange to meet whoever at the village petrol station and bring them back. He calls me, I go to the station, and theres a decrepit old pick up outside. I give him the nod, he gives me the nod back, and I lead him back to my place. He walks in and get very confused.
Turns out he is a builder who is nothing to do with me. Maybe the wheel barrow in the back of the truck should have given me a clue.
Someone else obviously has the same system.
As he is saying goodbye, the real odd job man phones again and asks why I entered the garage and drove straight past him. Seeing as both vehicles looked to be mot failure farm yard runabouts, and I was expecting a sign written service engineers van, I dont think I should be blamed.

AJB Temple wrote:You may be judging the economy wash incorrectly. Some machines use long soak intervals, and very long air drying times, when next to no energy is used. Totally OK if you programme the machine to run overnight.
The economy mode on our machine (Miele) includes a period when the door is automatically opened as part of the air drying cycle, but this is included in the total wash time in the programme.

The thirty minute wash is nearly all we ever use.
Ours is fine except for the stupid design of the filter. I have to clean this out twice a week, as her majesty thinks our dishwasher is also a waste disposal unit

Dishwashers are programmed to detect dirt somehow (god knows how) and this is less effective if you pre-rinse, which they say also wastes water. We just scrape off. It's no big deal to clean the filter on our machine.

On asking the shop for an english manual the reply was "who uses english these days?"
To be fair, he did say he would look around for me. I a not holding my breath.

But I'm still waiting for a manual I can read to find out what those programs are.
The buttons are not self explanatory.
There is one labelled "speed + perfect set up 3 sec"
