My washing machine gave up the ghost on Sunday. I've had it for quite a while, so it wasn't unexpected - but what IS unexpected is the problem I'm having getting a new one. Most places I've found one I'd consider buying can't deliver for ten days or more. One I found on the Comet website says delivery is in twenty-one days!
WTF?
Do they want my money or not?
It appears the only way of getting one faster is to go to an actual shop, buy it and lug it home ourselves. But washing machines are fucking heavy, so there's no way I'm doing that. Also, when they deliver, they take the old one away, which I need doing as well.
Yes, we have a local launderette, and we can always take stuff round to my Mum's if we need to. But seriously - ten days to get a new washing machine??!
What is the world coming to?!
