Being MD of an SME, f, I took the following view of GDPR, whilst I was being battered with the absolute necessity of embarking ona huge project to prepare for it.

"Ignore it," I thought. "It will be like Y2K, lots of people are going to make lots of money out of 'preparing', and then... everyone will forget about it."

So I did fúck all. And nothing's happened.

I think the problem is that nobody actually fully understands it.
I have no idea.

seems weird when somebody wants to use our services who has contacted us I have to get them to fill in a form every single time.

I can offer you a consultancy service if you like. A few pints of beer and a bag of chips should do it. :thumbup:

Kind of you a. Kind of you indeed. At the moment I'm sticking with my 'ignore it and it'll go away' strategy. Should anything change I'll be in touch.

You're definitely going to need new electricals when you move. You can't have a spangly new home with a shítty old kettle and a manky dishwasher and a grubby fridge.

(ao.com is better than Currys.)

We had to buy our fridge from Currys in the end and despite the fridge being excellent the service was appalling. Sat at home for about three days before they actually managed the delivery.

In my experience, ao employ hordes of non-English speaking chaps who rock up on time and happily fit your oven. I've had them round three times in the last year and not one has spoken anything better than rudimentary English.

I had to get a new fridge for my flat - I have no idea what the service was like as the tenant never informed me as to whether it turned up or not. I assume it did as there were no complaints but a thank you would have been nice :( It was very nice one as well - not some cheat tat I could really have got away with

I avoid Curry's like the plague, Richer Sounds, John Lewis and Smart Home Sounds, they all offer far better customer service and considerably better guarantees.

Not tried AO.com as yet.

I'll buy the new oven from them then. We need a new one - the old one's a bit dirty. Can they fit them without ripping the whole kitchen out?

they messed around with my dishwasher before christmas.
paid for saturday delivery. got the tracking said it was out for delivery. waited around all day and nothing. couldn't call them as it was past their working hours. then they told me it's out of stock.

That being said my new fridge freezer came the other week no problems.

Your flat wasn't on the fourth floor of the Grenfell Tower was it, la? :sherlock:

:nod: my parents had a dishwasher and they paid extra for their 'experts' to install it.
They told a load of crap about having to have loads of salt to run it so they couldn't do it and they left.
Then it wouldn't work as their experts didn't remove the blanking caps from the drain. morons.

The lack of English is quite welcome, actually. I hate talking to tradesmen and this way I don't have to and can simply pretend not to understand their inevitable requests to use my lavatory.

[Pat Vegas]

oh in other news turns out my ceramic hobs are induction. worth keeping?

Yes, though you may need some new pots and pans

Only if you don't mind throwing away all your existing pans.

I need to weigh up the cost of changing it to buying new pans.
I bought a temporary adapter plate thing in the meantime.

There's generally a reason they end up 'installing' stuff for Currys

try these https://www.amazon.co.uk/Circulon-Premier-Professional-Anodised-2-Piece/dp/B007IUNXUE/ cheap as chips and decent enough for you to try out

I'd get rid, since induction hobs are weird and everyone will think you're gay. :shrug:

There was one in the last house we were in. The house didn't have mains gas :-(

So can you use your induction pans on heterosexual hobs as well?

yes, yes you can.

Most decent, newer pans are compatible with all. Copper ones, generally, are not.

[Burney]

Yeah. All my best pans are copper-bottomed. They cost a cvnting fortune 'n all. :-(

I've got a Le Creuset frying pan that cost about £100. The induction hob showed it up that it loses its shape at heat.

No such worries back on the gas hob.

Well it's cast iron, tbf. Be a bit weird if it didn't deform at heat.

[IUFG]

It's actually made of aluminium.

Whereas my cast iron griddle pan didn't buckle on the induction hob at all.

Hang on. Why would Le Creuset make something out of aluminium? I have a Le Creuset frying pan and it's cast iron.

they do cast iron, steel and aluminium variants, b

Do you ever carry out marketing campaigns to whatever customer database you have?

[Herbert Augustus Chapman]

Do you ever carry out marketing campaigns to whatever customer database you have?

Why would he want to reveal himself to those people he's flogged dodgy motors to? They'd then know where to send the court summons.

[Sir C]

Do you ever carry out marketing campaigns to whatever customer database you have?

Certainly, but you may rest assured that every one of my customers considers himself a personal friend, and would never bubble me up.

[Burney]

'considers himself' :hehe:

[SWv2]

You are grand then as that is really only how you could fall foul of the 1000000/1 chance of any action being taken.
