Response from the owner Thanks Colin - we are really grateful for this feedback and I can see you do appreciate that things in Sri Lanka aren't always as smooth as other places! Apologies for the kitchen being a bit under equipped we clearly hadn't been in to check properly since before Christmas and we have now done as you suggested and had a really good look at whats there and whats needed and sorted that out! Electric switches - its so annoying the way they do that here in both our houses its almost impossible to get any logical understanding of what switches what on, - stickers and a layout might be a good idea yes! This is great feedback - apprecate the time you have taken!
