I haven’t yet nerved myself to try the breakfasts you see in international hotels where travellers have a heavy fish component to breakfast. In fact, aren’t kippers or some such fish part of a full English breakfast?
The washer. And a dishwasher, particularly. Their tvs seem to be really good. The problem was a shutoff valve for the incoming water that slammed shut too fast and caused water hammer in the pipes. They swore the problem didn’t exist, yet neighbour after neighbour was buying the dishwasher or washing machine and developing water hammer. The guy next door sold his within a month. We took ours to the dump. We didn’t want to saddle anyone else with it, No other brands, and we had a few, caused water hammer. And yes, we had all the fixes like air dams and foam padding, but it was so loud we would actually stop conversations. Cups of coffee would have a vibration on the surface. (Mind you, we had a long run of pipe to the machine.) If you don’t have it, that means they changed it in a later model. Still, I haven’t forgiven customer service.
Old joke edited for length: A man in Moscow buys newspaper at newsstand, glances at front page, throws it away. Next day, he does the same. After a week the news seller asks him why he’s doing this.
Man: “I’m looking for an obituary.”News seller:“But the obituaries aren’t even on the front page!”Man: “Oh, the one I’m looking for will be.”
After the success of her books on “tidying” or decluttering, Marie Kondo expressed regret that she’d been so ruthless in her parents’ home, throwing out many unused items that contained precious memories.
I took down LG Canada customer service. Well, I got past them to the VP who had several called in to ‘splain themselves, got the service I’d been guaranteed and had a guarantee some changes would be made. (I was newly retired and needed a hobby.) The good thing: I identified at least one problem fixed later on. Still, Consumer Reports rates them worst appliance customer service by a long way, and though I really respect their electronics, I’d never recommend a water appliance of theirs.
