Washing Machines & Guitars

A couple of days ago, our washing machine came to a grinding halt. The program clock just clicked around the dial aimlessly. My wife suggested I look at it, as I am a dab hand at getting drums out and replacing weights. It was full of washing and water, and I didn't fancy trying to lift it up to pour the water out! (pump not running at all). I suggested we get the engineer in. It turns out we have an extended warranty (good thing) so the guy was booked to come today. He arrived a while ago, and extracted two coins, a small nail, a paint can securing clip, and a metal plectrum. Now you see the connection. What you don't see is the link between Jamie's electric guitar, and the washing machine. It is in fact Jamie's trouser pockets...Oh well, at least it's working again...Bravo Indesit, and what a great idea I had to take out an extended warranty....
