    Jeez they look awful, did you watch the installation video, fixing it to an existing building would be a nightmare I expect with existing levels and walls out of plumb, not level etc etc. Sure it seems possible to adjust the panels to suit existing panels but at the expense of it looking...

    Firefox, slowing down.

    Surely if you make a Firefox account, it will retain all of your bookmarks etc? That said I would also be reluctant to do a reinstall, I would probably hang in there and wait for Firefox to be updated (which seems to happen every week or so) when the problem will probably be fixed.

    Snow, schools, clearing, etc.

    That's just not how designers design these estates. There is no hiding their size.

    No, the Building Regs changed allowing a toilet to be accessed directly from a kitchen provided it had it's own basin.

    Washing machine drainage

    Take the u bend off and check that's clear, is the sink draining OK? Can't see how a drain smell could be associated with a washing machine in that set-up.
