  On 18 August I went into my local John Lewis store to purchase a Bosch SMV50C00GB Integrated Dishwasher. I was told that they did not stock it at the branch and that I should order it on their website. I went home and did exactly that. On 21 August I received an email from them - "For your protection, all orders taken on our website are security checked to authenticate the information and the details provided. Unfortunately, the details you provided have failed our checks and we're unable to complete..

  I bought a John Lewis TK17BCJLU Kettle from johnlewis.com - I had it less than two months when it started switching off before the water was boiled.
  
  I took it back to their Newcastle upon Tyne branch. The assistant went to see a manager, she said when she came back, "the trouble is limescale build-up". I looked inside and there was a very thin line of limescale about an 1.5 inches long. The assistant also said "The kettle guarentee does not cover it for limesale build-up" and "The manufacturer will not take back any more of these kettles". She told me to descale the kettle.
  
  I descaled the kettle and it still switched off. I took it back to the Newcastle branch where a manager said "The limescale gets into the switch."
  
  I live alone and I'm at work four days a week - the kettle was only seven weeks old - I refill the kettle with fresh water every use.
  
  This kettle is not fit for use if it can't handle such a small amount of limescale, plus, if the manager is right when she said "The limescale gets into the switch." this kettle is dangerous.
