Correct with your crap groundwater abstraction.  Not worth it in NW or SW.

This. (Get Maud to do it)

I’m not sure the plastic outer of the pods melts sufficiently at 30deg.

They don't. They stick to your clothes too. 

washing powder from Aldi is shite too, solidifies and stays in the drawer, not using that garbage again

Washing powder in general is shite. Gel all the way 👍

I’ve been advised to occasionally rotate so that the washing machine is fully used.

Very sound rule of thumb.

No change to levies on detergent.

All the lefties unusually quiet on this front today, wonder why🤔?

😂😂😂😎🤩🥳👺🤖🛀🚴‍♂️🦶🦴🧠👁💎💤🧠🧠🎅😂😂😂😂

Are lefties usually vociferous about detergent prices following previous budget announcements?  I really hadn't noticed. 

They never shut up about them usually...

 

Seriously? 

Tammys, detergents, kaftans, wheatgrass...

Anything taxed they use in essence.

They go through so much washing powder because they piss the bed so often.

Oh,  I'm with you.  The argument about VAT being for luxury goods. 

Remember the old tub washing machines they used to have a round filter which collected lose fluff, used to dip my hand in the filter and collect it and dispose of it when I was a kid, who said the 60s were boring. 😂

Don't you clean out the filter on the washing machine?

Apart from soggy hair and fluff, there's always at least one pound coin there. Science hasn't worked out why.

A £1 cost me £200 last summer for a new drum. It wasn't even 6 months old the fucking thing either. Obviously my fault for not checking the 42 year olds childs pockets.

New law coming out that domestic appliance manufacturers have to make spares more readily available. 

Interesting as they have always kept proper manuals behind paywalls up to now.

Probably still cost more for a replacement control board than new machine

Reminds me of the home-use laser printer I bought. First ink replacement taught me a valuable lesson when the ink cartridge was double the price of the printer.

Bloke I once knew had his own IT company and gave local schools a load of printers free of charge 

It was on the condition that they bought the cartridges from him. Good PR and a nice little earner

Made me laugh that, my printer ended up on the local tip. 😃
