Default Re: Having a laugh?

Many years ago I worked for a firm that among general tv and radio repairs (house calls rather than in a workshop) had a contract with Rumblows or some similar company that sold on higher purchase so were repaired during the repayment period so washing machines were also dealt with. One of the technicians told me that he called at a house where the brand new twin tub was reported to not be working. The owner, an Asian lady with no grasp of English having recently arrived here showed him the washer and shrugged. The technition held the plug and looked around for a power point. You may have guessed. She had no idea it needed to be plugged in. It seems unbelievable but not having any experience of such technology she simply did not know.
