Friday's Blog

It's Saturday now and this is Friday's blog but it took so long to upload the following video that everyone was going home and I had to switch my computer off. I thought it might be nice for a change for you to have a quick look around Instanta. British manufacturers are fast becoming an endangered species but, as you can see from this, we are still going strong. I originally included the office in the film but there was a service engineer making so much noise at the trade counter (and it wasn't Max singing) that I will have to do the office again another day. As you can see from the film, the lads move at a hell of a pace when the tea break bell goes. I was pleased that I managed to capture the most important event of the Instanta week, the bacon butty delivery.

Just completed the warranty statistics for June. Once again we had very few faults but it was interesting to see that we had to replace 5 LCD display boards on wall mounted boilers. As all these boards were from machines supplied at varying times over the last 24 months it was a bit puzzling and could not be attributed to a batch fault. However, research indicates that each boiler was in an area that had experienced severe electrical storms. As the failure rate on these boards is under 0.08% we are not unduly concerned but, as always, we will seek ways of preventing any recurrence.

The competition still running. It is nothing to do with the Wizard of Oz. (Ding Dong Think Cosmetics). Here's another clue. And if you don't get it now I give up.

Big things happening in China. But before we all pat the Chinese on the back and congratulate them on a wonderful show, lets all remember how oppressed these people really are. I hope that plenty of peaceful protests during the games show the world that everything is not as rosy as they would like us to think.
