After 17 years we have replaced our top loading washing machine for a sexy front loader (Bosch) c/o the boxing day sales.
It arrived today but the cold water hose (metal) connection to the tap doesn't screw on at all. So am using the old top loader hose (nylon connection) while I ask the store to sort it out (or I might have to end up getting a plumber in to charge me losts of money to put in a new tap or construct some sort of adaptor).
