The best bit about getting our old Citroën Ami 8 estate we keep at the holiday home in France through the local Mot was the tester handing over the certificate and saying 'see you in 2017 then.....'

De Deitrich dishwasher,(well how do you keep your tools clean?), it's never ever worked properly although it is quiet enough to nap through. Going back to Bosch next time.
