Our second Neff dishwaser in 10 years went pop a couple of months back and we bought a Beko one for about £250, way better quality than the expensive Neff one. I think for a tad extra AO offera fitting service, I know Curries do.
Not now they dont. They make it clear on the web site that they will drop it at your door and even take the old one away but will not enter your house.

I think my wife is going a bit overboard with this virus. I went shopping this morning and when I got back, she insisted that I strip off to my underwear and put all my clothes in the washing machine , including the two shopping bags I had. I also had to have a shower before I got dressed again.
Whilst out, I never was in contact with anyone , kept 2 metres apart, sanetised the trolley handle and was wearing gloves which I disposed of before getting back into the car.
Not looking forward to going shopping again. Luckily, I only go once a week at the moment.

Yes, bought several things online since the restrictions started (including a TV), done thing seems to be, they bring package to your door, retreat 2metres, take photograph of you, and package. A bit annoying, I am having to comb my hair several times per day. Wife will not answer door to a delivery, unless, she has done hair, makeup etc. ;)

What's the big deal? If you are on Messenger or What'sap, you can make video calls anywhere in the world for free.

Friend of mine is undergoing cancer treatment. He was instructed by the hospital to do very similar when he arrived home. Strip to underwear, take his clothes directly to the washing machine, shower and dress.

Maybe she just wanted to see you in your undies.
