    Flatbed microwaves

    Got a Panasonic one, had it a year or 2. Can't fault it in any way. I very much prefer it over a turntable one.

    Dremel - best buy & Accessories

    I have both corded and cordless (x2) . Corded one is used most in my workshop, I use it with a flexible shaft, cordless is there but not used that much. Flexible shaft enables much much better control for finer work. I have the other cordless in my toolbag at work, incredibly useful there...

    Hot water has suddenly got much hotter!

    British Gas 330 Boiler (Flue)

    The flue should be available still. If there is bad corrosion in the flue it would be very unusual, normally a leak on this flue shows up before it corrodes and can be fixed by dismantling it, deburring the inner flue and replacing the seals. Easy enough job for the gasman to do.
