can you recommend a plumber/electrician to repair my washing machine, please? my kitchen floor is flooded and delivery people keep ringing my doorbell for other flats this seems to be inevitable when you are in flat 1!

oh dear another intelligent practicql person I travelled widely over the 40 years I was a BBC journalist and still do even tho I'm 85 and I organised numerous charity events including balls, brains trusts etc - even a music festival in Trafalgar Square but I can't mend a fuse or a bicycle tyre or sew a button on without bleeding to death and, these days, I can't afford to pay people to do things for me - and I'm a lousy cook! please parents, teach your kids to be useful
thank you,Tris, I'll show your email to my daughter who learned incredible skills in her 5 years as a student best wishes to all who bother to answer these cries for help SallyM

She's not necessarily being sarcastic or rude Tris. I read it and took it at face value. Sally,l were you radio or television ? I'm ex-BBC myself. It never leaves one, does it

no it doesn't I was both radio and tv- happiest on World Service but had to go back to tv as needed higher pay to support young teenagers
are you still working? I did the large sum of 3 broadcasts in 2013 but, so far this year, I was only invited on to a late night panel to discuss modes of travel would love to do more what about you? are you happy with retirement or do you agree with me that journalists never retire? SM

I think Sally was being genuine and just a bit self depreciating. Hope you get sorted out Sally :-)

Tris* Ha ha got the machine up onto breeze blocks and then the filter cap would not unscrew so i forced it and it snapped and there was a coin inside. then i realised that there's other probs so i've totally given up on it. I've wasted so may hours on this damn machine so i am looking for another second hand machine. I've learned never to try to repair washing machines but thanks for your help (and everyone else) - Sally i hope you have much better luck than i have had.

Poor Sally. Definitely not sarcastic or rude! Good luck with your washing machine Sally.

thank you Gillian and other kind souls who, like me, were puzzled by Tris' 'sarcastic and rude' comment there was absolutely no question of rejecting the advice I simply had no idea how to make use of it so thought a light-hearted description of my DI Y capability would explain my uselessness sorry if you were offended, but to be honest, Tris,I can't understand how you misinterpreted my email SM
