Washing machine

Wouldn't brains have told them this was required when it was ordered or is that too much to ask ??

Their toolkits do not include brains.

They didn't ask me if it was hard wired or just a plug. If it had just been a plug I wouldn't have asked for it to be connected. I'd have done it myself!

When I saw this thread right next to Myths and Lies - I thought "How true!"
PS what the heck does "hard wired" mean? I have only ever had appliances that plug into the wall, apart from the electric oven part of the cooker. At the rislkof being without a washing machine for a further month I would have very tempted to tell them where precisely they could "position "their washing machine.

It's wired into a spur unit rather than being just a plug. Blame my late oh. He was an e
Electrical engineer.BSc, M Tech.. C Eng. MIDPM.
I presume he knew what he was doing?

He did - "fitters" clearly didn't.

Well, washing machine is now working.the tvs that won't receive English need a new ariel according to local tv repair man.
I still can't find my corkscrew! cleaner says she hasn't touched it and gone all huffy, 'I never move anything' I know that because half time nothing's been dusted!
I know she's either thrown it away in one of her odd moments or put it somewhere strange?
Oh well have to order a new one!

Tvs that won't receive English?

When they messed about with digital TV, my Freeview box would give me only Welsh TV channels. I went over to Virgin.

Oh! How strange.

Mines the same and even those are bad. My main tv is sky so that's ok!
The corkscrew had turned up! I no longer have to make do with champagne (which I opened by mistake thinking it was prosecco!)

That's my excuse too Galen " I thought it was Californian pink fizz "
Good news that washer is now working.

Well I've just put my third wash in. Only another three to go! Amazing how much washing there is after a month!
