The prosecution fails to provide any evidence to support their case. Charge withdrawn then.

I think you mean "patently" rather than "abhorrently".

Really? I didn't realize it was possible to get that worked up about washing machines.

You had a go at him for using a top loader. You said you were 'appalled' at his choice. You don't think that's somewhat of an overreaction?

Your initial post wasn't 'trolling', it was just bollocks. The trolling came after I took the piss out of you and you decided to try to fight back.

You must have a lot of room in there. The only things close to my heart are my lungs.

I'd say you sounded like a little girl, but I don't want to be accused of child abuse

That depends. Are you guilty of putting your silk underwear in a top loader?

No, nor do I have a twist in them.

Is it due to detergent still being left on your clothes? If so, that's the fault of either too much detergent or just buying a crappy washing machine.

I've had both Bosch and Miele washing machines, and none exhibited any of the issues you cite.

Frankly, I get bored listening to (usually Americans) whine about front loaders. They're wrong, pure and simple. It's like trying to defend buying a Chevrolet when you should have bought a VW.
I am using HE detergent. The drum does not fill up 20%, it's more like 5% if that.

Things I've learned today: You can't get loaded whenever you want in the UK.

Hum so this thread took a acerbic turn.

Clean clothes are serious bizness!

You will pry my Agitator Top Loader from my Cold Dead Hands !
