There are times when I also get frustrated as I don't really understand the actual process, who does what etc. But, to date, clicking 'create content' on the menu bar up above..........works for me.

My gawd........... 6 months ago, we had a problem with our dishwasher, called someone out, they 'fixed', went away and it worked (it cost 220Euro for a new circuit board). 4 months ago, another problem..............called him out again, (the original fix had a 2 yr guarantee).......this time problem with a plastic 'thingy'................he 'fixed' it, we paid 110 Euro and it worked. 2 months ago, another problem..............called him again (the original two fixes were in guarantee period !), this time problem with the pump, pump replaced , paid 130 Euro and it worked. So now, 460 Euros later........................we have ANOTHER problem..................it seems like a 'programme' related problem.............very intermittent..................should we bin it ??
