Now this is probably just a gripe on my behalf but how do others feel?
I recently bought a new washing machine and the flex is tiny. It doesn't even reach the front of the washing machine. I suspected this noting that every shop had a sign up about plug points being within a metre. Is this not a totally ridiculous and dangerous situation suppliers are putting people in regarding water and electricity. After a discussion it appears that most people these days have to use an extension lead.
This was highlighted again for me yesterday when using the iron, which I have to admit is a rare occasion. The flex on my iron must be at least 10 ft and it is fairly new. So why on earth on are the big washing machine makers adding tiny flexes. Surely they can't be that hard up.
What do others think?
In light of our current weather.......
