RE: Holiday Home from Hell
Everywhere is burning this summer. We tried to buy some aircon units for our house earlier in the season. Order seemed to go through and an hour later we were refunded with no explanation as such. B&Q had exhausted the supply chain. Demand has been exceedingly high. Later we tried to order a better fan, no joy.
@steevc I think you’re right, there aren’t enough shipments coming through from China.
That shower looks like the one I had in another French city last year. The worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in.
Sorry you and your family had a rough time

There is definitely something wrong with the supply chain and this reliance on China for everything is a mistake.
Today it's aircon tomorrow who knows what?
Yep it's something I've seen in several places...cheap and nasty. They treat customers with contempt.
I won't be staying anywhere associated with this company.
They own so many places all under different brands to give customers the illusion of choice but they are all equipped with the same crap fittings.
They can't hide behind brands when the fittings are the same.
They obviously buy in bulk.
They think the public are stupid.
Vote with our wallet and support companies with some ethics...if you can find one?
Vote with our wallets indeed. The French Hotel was in Nancy, a nice town but like many places, has an ugly industrial bit an we were travelling back from a kayak holiday in Slovenia. To be fair the booking was ad-hoc but what we ended up with was a bit rough, my friend and I had single rooms and were both glad to see the morning and to hit the road again.

I was lucky and managed to buy a proper fan from Shark as I subscribed to their "let me know when stock is available" notification. Bought the fan the minute I saw the email. Luckily I did as it had sold out again the next day. Previously I just had the crappy £20 ones from B&M
Being from Asia, I'm used to the heat, but if things persist maybe in a few years time I may install a proper AC unit. I see my neighbour has installed one recently, smart guy with foresight
Well done on scoring the fan. I must say I've learned a lot about the whole cooling lark.
Apparently a fan is just as useful as aircon if we keep ourselves damp 😂
The air blowing over our damp bodies has a cooling effect.
Someone needs to invent an ac unit for UK flats/apartments because most people live in them.
Heat pumps are great if you have a house where you can drill holes etc not so doable in a flat.
