Engineer could not find the fault

Well, I thought long and hard about this and discussed with my daughter and bro-in-law and we collectively decided I should chalk this one up to experience! the alternatives, i.e. sue or go to Trading Standards are long winded and aggravating, and to be honest when one gets older it is so difficult ...
