No, no, Stawks, The Drum is a chatty current affairs/talk show on the ABC in the evenings.
There's a difference between taking the time to load the washing machine evenly, and stuffing whatever comes to hand into it, while keeping an ear out for the smoke alarm, in the kitchen...
I can multitask...! ha ha.
If, in home economics, in high school, I'd learnt something other than how to ice a cake, or lay a table for a formal dinner party...
Now, I'm sure those skills would have served me well later on in my adult life, but I can't help thinking that "clean the lint filter...", and "If there's a powder tray, it'll be on the front of the machine, and it'll look like a small pull out tray (so then you won't wash clothing, for the next few years, without powder because there's nowhere to put it...).
A couple of the little fiddly details that you might actually encounter in real life...
I know, I know, "That's what mums are for" - telling you these things, but that's not always how life is.
You've moved out of home, and you've encountered an utterly unfamiliar washing machine.
Should you call Mum? Back in those days the nearest telephone was a good five minute walk away.
Should you try and figure it out for yourself? Well, you might as well, you're supposed to be a "capable adult" now, anyway...
Ah, you know how it goes - rant, rant, ramble, ramble, stuff they should have taught me at school... and the old favourite - where's the sense in teaching boys that "housework" is effeminate if they're only going to have to do it for themselves when they're older?
Anyway, I'll hand the soapbox on to someone else, now, ha ha.
