Default Washing Machines - What ever next!

Some clever designer has come uo with a wahing machine that has fingerprint recognition technology to ensure the job of loading is not dumped on just one individual.

Thank god I have a daughter as well as a wife!

Problem Solved

Thats hilarious! Would only work in my house if it had a colour sensor too and set off an alarm if bright red and white stuff was about to be put in together...

Also from the designer of this "fingerpirnt" washing machine ....

You can hear an interview with Your Turn designer, Pep Torres, on the BBC World Service Everywoman programme on Tuesday 3 May. He also talks about another of his inventions which encourages men to do more ironing.

Not keen on that one !!! :scared:

Sounds good to me! Actually, I can't complain as all the ironing in our house is done by The Bloke - as is a lot of the washing. I chose my husband carefully, and picked one who is far more domesticated than I am!

That's the weirdest functionality. I don't want my husband anywhere near the washing machine. It's my toy and only my 4 yr old and I may use it.
