I can't tell you how glad I am that you're using it and, like Tim, I look forward to seeing all the photos from the undeveloped film. Crikey, ain't life good!

To my great sadness I couldn't find a single one that sold records. I even begun to wonder whether it was something that charity shops just don't take any more. I'm glad you've found an Oxfam that does, even if it is horribly over-priced.

After cleaning and replacing everything the warning light for the bin has stayed on and after removing and refitting numerous times it is still on and the machine does not work. Having rung Di Longhi on Friday morning, the 23rd of December, I listened to a recording telling me that everybody is off for the Bank Holiday. Thanks very much. Brand new machine that does not work so a very merry Christmas to all at the Company and my friends will now carry on drinking the instant out of the jar. What a load of rubbish.

As you say, if you are on the way out – and just got up ! – then come downstairs, hit the power button, do other things for just over a minute [find shoes and car keys ?], then stick the cup in place and hit the Go button.
Almost quicker than boiling a kettle for Instant, as long as the water tank has some in !

Anyway at least I no longer now gravitate to the kitchen section when in John Lewis and compare bean-to-cup machine specs and prices :-)
