      “Make sure the kitchen has a washing machine. That’s very important.”

      “A washing machine? Are you sure?”

      “Absolutely, huge selling point. Nobody likes hand washing.”

      They remembered the word “dishwasher” a few days later, but it was already too late.

        I think that might be a UK thing. I saw it and immediately assumed it was England, because I’ve never seen a washing machine in the kitchen, except in British television.

            Where else would you put it?

            British houses typically don’t have a utility room. We don’t really have the space.

            Typical house you see on USA TV is massive by UK standards. A house like that here wouldn’t be affordable to most folk.

              Don’t worry. Houses like that aren’t affordable to most folk in the US anymore either. At least for anyone that doesn’t already have one.

      Holy shit! I’ve been on that street. They’ve used the same type of chip board to make other stuff in the house too. I’m guessing the landlord was able to source it for free and fitted it themselves. Hope it’s rated for interior use as others here have pointed out.
