For your wives or girlfirends (or both!)

Luddite - Why are you using a washing machine !!!!  BY your own admission you are a Luddite. You wife should be taking your clothes to a stream to wash them against a smooth rock.

No, we Luddites are against technology that is damaging to people's lives and livelihoods.

Technology that helps is a good thing.

But what about all the poor women who used to take in washing to earn a few coppers?

When was the last time you saw a woman washing clothes at your local stream -  years and years ago - possibly never.  See they are all now out of work by these new fangled washing machines

If you've seen our local stream.... ich

Since that particular activity was largely unpaid, and represented a serious chore for women and a drain on their time, the invention of the washing machine is a classic example of beneficial technology that Luddites like me would support.

Even if they are baffling to the average man brain. 
Presumably there's been design research that found women in rivers used to denote different river rocks for different purposes as an 'A rock', 'B rock', 'H rock', etc. - and therefore translating that to a dial on the front of the new machine makes perfect sense to them...

[Orcs]

So are you suggesting there are actual meaninga and differences to the letters on the front of the dial ??  I thought you just twiddled the dial until it started!!!!

As you can tell I have  a washer woman to operate the said machine.  Perhaps all machines should come supplied with one !!!  Obviously the more expensive machines would come with better looking operators.

If that was the case I might shell out the £1000 for a Meile on the hope I might get a 25 year old Nympho as an operator.   

Mind you while I might know how to operate the said operator, not sure I could keep up

Many years ago, my daughter was asked at school if we had a dishwasher.

Her answer: Yes, my nan.
