over 30 years ago when our first child was well into producing a great volume of dirty cloth nappies (yes we used to have to wash them and the throw away ones didnt exist) our old agitator washer gave up the ghost. We simply didnt have the money for a new one as we were saving for a home.
After 18 months to two years my sister in law came for a visit while Brenda was washing all these nappies by hand on the wash board (OK, Only old people will remember these) and asked why. Brenda explained that the washer was stuffed (being technical here). Karen pushed the reset button and away the washer went.
Relationships on the home front were not good for the next week or two.
Has your washer got a reset button? :oops:
(never ever ask her how she told me that she was pregnant for the first time as thats an even worst story :oops: )
