Get real oak, not that laminate crap.
Or at least, get the laminate with an actual oak top, rather than oak stained pine.

I got the proper oak topped stuff. Been down 7 years and still looks brand new

How can you have laminate oak?
You either have plastic shit laminate or actual oak flooring, a fusion of the two does not exist

It has plywood stuff underneath it and a thin layer of oak on the top

Exactly this.

Never come across that, sounds weird as with two seperate densities glued together surely it's prone to cracking (5mm top?) bowing buckling with moisture heat etc
Solid wood flooring or GTFO

No. It isn't.
Move along.

Course it is it's shit
It's mimicking something which it aint for a cheaper price per m2, hence the phrase 'solid wood flooring' as a selling feature. Dur Al

My response was to this bit:
"surely it's prone to cracking (5mm top?) bowing buckling with moisture heat etc"

No it isn't, if you buy the right stuff.
