Canal Boat Washing Machine.

[Captain Fizz]

I am developing a new style of washing machine for boating.

Without giving too much away, (patents) said machine will look something like a lobster pot into which one places one's washing.

The central tunnel will have a turbine which will cause the pot to rotate as it is towed behind the boat thus washing the clothes.

The unit will be fitted to hydraulic lifting arms, so, when lifted from the water it can be raised above roof level when the passing air flow will spin the turbine thereby drying the clothes.

This cunning piece of equipment will be made from a solid billet of finest unobtainium carefully machined with a CNC Router!

What do the panel think?

[b0atman]

Is it right that Midland chandlers will be the only outlet for this innovative idea

CNC router? It can't fail.

[Nightwatch]

Thought these ideas had to be suggested before 12 noon.

[The Bagdad Boatman (waits)]

Will a canal boat sail through or will you have to legg it

[Nightwatch]

Problem! If you meet anther boat in a bridge ole, you won't be able to go astern, so you will just have to say, sorry mate you'll have to reverse, I'm doing me washin'

 

Add 'Eco balls' and tickety boo!

[Grace and Favour]

Will you call it the Doodlebug MkV ?

[Captain Fizz]

The thought never crossed my mind.

You may be out of luck. I suspect Bizzard Worldwide Incorporated have patents in this area...

I find that Unlimited amounts of Unobtaniam are Obtainable at Unobtaniam R US.

Also on Ebay but only when an eternity auction finishes.

I find the best way to win is if you wait 5 seconds from the end before bidding.

It need to be a big washing machine to get the boat in, the spinning will not be popular.

Caught sight of myself in the mirror on the way into the shower.
I stood there naked, sagging and flabby. - "What the hell", I thought.
Then I came upon it. ...
It's April 1st!
Ha Ha Ha. I'm not that gullible!

It appears we both have the same Mirror !.

Was I the only one to read the title as meaning a new type of machine for washing boats?
