am doing my best to sift thru the 'banter' for the nuggets of info i'm after! my non-DIY non-lightbulb-changing husband thinks it's funny though.

worcester versus ideal? i quite liked the 3rd guy (even though i only plucked him out of yellow pages) but he only gets a 2 yr warranty with WB whereas he gets a 5 year one with Ideal. 2nd guy was the proprietor of a big-ish local company but he seemed a bit doddery and i was quite annoyed...
