The Washing Machine : A dark art


Ahhhh.... the dark magic that is The Washing Machine. It has been statistically proven* that the male of our species is incapable of fathoming out how to operate The Washing Machine, even though the building of a PC from component parts and a complete install of 64 bit Windows 7 is as easy as falling off a bike.

But does it matter? Is it important? Well 95% of the 22 million households in the UK currently possess a washing machine, that's 20.9 million. The female population of the UK is 30 million making a ratio of 1.4 to 1. Logic therefore suggests that the male is redundant in these circumstances. 

*cough*

However recent experience has in fact proved the opposite as gardening leave can be a wonderful thing. After 10 weeks I can safely say I have mastered the dark art of The Washing Machine. I feel like Neo in Matrix as I utter the immortal words "I know Washing Machine", although I still believe there is a spoon. What remains to be seen is whether this knowledge, this 'dark art' can be retained in the mind of a mere Man..........




*may not actually be true
