Oh dearie me. What can I say to you. No we don't want a nanny state BUT JUST WAIT AND SEE HOW MANY IDIOTS DO ACTUALLY PUT THEIR ANIMAL INTO A MACHINE!!I can't begin to imagine what goes on in people's minds but I know that dumb animals and small children have to be protected
No Diggy - silly - the poor, generously proportioned child once got in, got stuck - erm....got out again (presumably with assistance) - and has been longing to get back in ever since, but alas, is too fat to repeat the event - of which she has fond memories - all that attention!!!

That is a truly wondrous story, Kathy, beautifully told. So heart wrenching. ...I know it's no real substitute but she could, perhaps, now, just stick her head in, or even, her backside but not both at the same time. xx XX

The big girl in the washing machine just won't wash. There's no way you can keep it clean.
Oops - of course. Rich and Jude will love it. Talk dirty, Diggy.
'What can it be?' she thought. 'WHO can it be?' Young Jude was intrigued. With her mother out at the ale house, and her father doing something upper-working-class in Blackburn, Jude had the run of the Finnigan family's house. She had only ventured into the kitchen for a single lime cream - a chocolate treat to which she was addicted - when she had spied two large feet protruding from out of the washing machine! 'The washing machine has eaten a clown!' cried Jude. Then she heard a voice: 'Um...' He was alive! She could hardly contain herself: after all of these years of waiting for a man - a Lawrentian man with long, stout feet - here he was! 'May I come in there and join you, kind sir?' The voice replied: 'Um...' She climbed in - oh, it was TIGHT - and then found, in the darkness, that she was stuck! 'How will I become a great drama teacher now?' she cried. In the darkness, a reassuring voice replied: 'Um...'
'Aaaagh!' howled the owner of the two large and now sadly exposed feet. 'You've squashed bits of my, um, millennium cupboard!' Jude was puzzled: 'But this isn't a cupboard - it's a washing machine'. The owner of the feet sighed. 'I KNOW that. I chose it because nobody would suspect it of also being a cupboard!' Jude tried to brighten the mood. 'It's a very CLEAN cupboard!' The owner of the feet sighed again. 'Yes. But now it has a large girl in it, and it's, um, spoilt!' Jude cried. 'You horrid, horrid foot man, you! I'm leaving!' She pushed out at the door, but found that she really was very, very stuck! 'Help!' she screamed.

Yes, I think her head might fit. I shall sugest it to her next time I see her. She will be so pleased.
