    I have a Hotpoint frost free freezer for the past few years and its still frost free and it still freezes! However if you are looking at appliances with lots of moving parts like washing machines and tumble dryers, then like Lumen I would normally prefer ze Germans.

    My mother has a Zanussi washing machine going strong since 1984. The only thing that ever went wrong with it was a door jam in 1985.

    We have a Zanussi washing machine and Zanussi tumble dryer. Only 3 years old but they haven't let us down yet.

    I wouldn't be a big fan of Hotpoint.

    In a moment of crazy richesse I bought a Miele dishwasher some years ago; the saleswoman who sold it to me said sulkily that she'd love the model I was buying, but her Miele still hadn't broken down after 25 years, so she didn't feel justified in replacing it.

    I have Hotpoint fridge and freezers and I swear by them. And occasionally at them.

    Seriously though, they're fine.

    Hotpoint, SMEG etc - they're all made using Chinese components!

    Our dishwasher broke a couple of years ago and when they guy arrived to fix it he said it couldn't be fixed (not at reasonable price) and advised us to get a new one. I asked him which one would he recommend and he waffled on through the different brands so I just asked him what he had in his house - the answer surprised me - Beko!!

    So that's what we went with!

    I'm just going to say it.
    I have man-flu.
    Wow, just saying it out loud makes it all seem so very very real.
    It's quite a severe strain but I'm hopeful it's not life threatening.
    I've told my family and they're being as brave and supportive as they can be.
    I can tell they're upset though by the way they look at each other shaking their heads in disbelief and throwing their eyes skywards as if to say "why him, why our dad?"
    I reckon I'll be off the bike for a few days but I'm determined to conquer this cruel and merciless disease that targets young fit men in their prime.
    I will of course face this great challenge with quiet dignity and post regular half-hourly updates of my progress on this forum.
    Thank you.

    All man-flu is life-threatening. Make a will.

    Surely if you had *proper* man-flu you would not have the energy to type this message - or did you dictate it over several hours by hoarsely mumbling into the ear of one of the family members holding vigil by your bed?

    Studies have shown that vigorous exercising of the thumbs and fingers through use of a Playstation controller increases man-flu recovery rates by 50%.

    I've also found that chronic exposure to jaffa cakes, tea and box sets can alleviate some of the worst symptoms and take the edge off the pain.

    My preferred prescription is Band of Brothers, The Wire, The West Wing or Homeland - take one of these at least 6 times a day from a reclined position on the sofa.

    I may have caught the Ryder Cup induced Man Flu, whereby all leisure activities are able to continue but anything that can remotely be construed as work will knock me down in a heap. Still 'tis the burden we must bear.

    I have found what exaserbates symptoms is being around people, (family, work colleagues) and phone calls. These tend to effect normal use of voice.

    On the plus side Murder She Wrote seems to alleviate symptoms.
