I just heard about an engineer with a customer who has a green washing machine. Not a “green” washing machine – a green (coloured) washing machine. It was under an extended warranty with a repair limit of £125. Unfortunately, the machine is beyond economical repair as far as the insurer is concerned and they scrapped the machine. “Now this customers kitchen is all green. Green fridge, freezer, kettle, toaster need I go on. The manufacturer no longer makes a green machine and the insurer only supplies replacements in white. Fashion, don’t you just love it!”
