Washing machines live longer with Collie…

Now, I'm all for Cultural Differences whilst abroad, but some things take the dog biscuit!

Surely it can't be hygenic to make up a tasty beverage in your washing machine?

Apart from accidental sippage of coins, lint, tissues and the sludgy remains of calgon in yer liquid refreshment, your clothes would reek of mango all day. Of course, sweetly smelling of mango is all very well, but on a hot day, sun heated yoghurt ain't so nasally appealing!

And surely it must void the warranty on your washer!

There was me thinking that my previous washing machine had broke though years of use, and it turns out to be the Indian equivalent of Starbucks, sneaking in and brewing up their spicy shakes in the dead of night.

Maybe it's a Jyhad against Zanussi, and these fundamentalists are Bringing Down The Decadent West by sabotaging our washers and forcing housewives to scrub their smalls in the Wensum river, and making Polish PR types look foolish with a lassitash.

I don't care if you can serve up 10 times more liquidised canines than you used to. It's all very well having a mahogany and sable colored cooling drink for visual appeal, but collie flavoured milkshake ain't my idea of a tasty treat.

Ethical banking? Maybe in Korea…
