We wish to purchase a "Ewbank style" carpet cleaner in the Chania area. Can anyone help with information about where we might find one.

All done with part of the cost funded by IKA. Thanks everyone.

Thanks for all the advice. Most helpful.

I finally have to admit what my wife has been saying for years; I am going just a tiny bit deaf.

Can anyone give me the name and contact details of a specialist who could supply me with a hearing aid. (Preferably someone who speaks English quite loudly.)

I have sent a personal message.

Microsoft have inserted a new symbol onto my task bar. It invites me to reserve my free upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10. I think that all Windows 7 users are getting this. Any opinions or comments? Why would I want the upgrade? And how can I stop the beggars sneaking it onto my computer when I ...

We installed oil fired central heating (radiators) in a house with no existing pipework. The company concerned experienced no particular difficulties and did a neat and tidy job. We use about 400 litres of oil each winter. Our house has thick stone walls which may provide some degree of insulation.

We renewed our books at the IKA office near Souda earlier this week; no problem if you don't mind getting up early. When we made it to a window the process took about 2 minutes. No papers were required (we had passport, tax papers etc with us but did not need them) and the renewal consisted only of ...

Only whimps do it through KEP !!

I am posting this from my new computer as supplied by X File. All working fine. Thank you Theo.

They were never passed to ACS and never came to Crete. In my experience this is a ...

Thanks for all the advise and comment. I have had a stroll round Chania (Public, Kotsopoulos and Expert) but concluded that I would be much better of having something built locally. So, after a tour of Kalives I have ended up ordering a desk top tailor made to my requirements from Theo of X-Files. T...

My poor old steam driven desk top is definitely ready for replacement. Can anyone recommend a shop, in or around Chania, where I can see what is available and talk to someone knowledgeable about what I want.

I quite fancy an "all in one" does anybody have any comments about that?
