NAH. Most of ours are foreigners, trained up as honorary scousers.
 
Not sure if anyone has any more information but I understand that some fridges are made with a flamable insulating material, and others are not. I'm not sure if there has been a recent change in legislation to ban the flamable stuff, but I think thats what turns small component faliures in to large house fires very quickly.

Edit to add:
More info here Which? names 250 fridges and freezers that pose fire risk - https://www.theguardian.com/business/2018/apr/05/which-names-250-fridges-and-freezers-that-pose-fire-risk

Hello telectrix,

When I first read your message I thought that you were on a wind up regarding the Company name - but I then remembered that I had seen a reference to the `Arcelik` name previously online regarding `White Goods` manufactured in other Countries.

And when I had researched further I found that the Company was owned / operated by `Koc Holdings` which I think I remember reading is the largest Industrial & Services Group in Turkey.

I am sure that We have all come across product or Company names from other Countries which are perceived to be either `Rude` or Amusing from an English spelling point of view - but I was slightly amused [in a Schoolboy humour way] to read those 2 Company names were associated with each other.

Regards,

Chris

Hello again telectrix,

From previously looking online there must be hundreds of Companies and Products that have names that mean something completely different in English / to Us.

When I used the link that You posted the webpage did load [I am using Opera] - looks like a Nail Polish product Company.

I could not look further because I did not want to `Sign in` using Facebook or register with Pintrest.

I do like to try and keep my nails neatly clipped so that they don`t get broken or snagged while I am working but I don`t apply Nail polish.

Sorry if my previous message and the replies are seen to have `Hijacked` this thread which has a genuine question regarding BEKO Fridge Freezers.

I could not resist when I recognised the name of the Company in your first message.


Regards,

Chris
