Auntie Beeb says 20°C here in North East Oxfordshire too so bedroom clock is more trustworthy than kitchen clock. Which is probably just as well. |

Next up in misleading domestic appliance news: why does the '30 minute quickwash' function on my washing machine always take longer? |

Maybe they used a poorly calibrated cheap clock/timer. We have a Panasonic microwave with a clock that gains about 10 minutes per month. |

My guess: it’s an estimate, because the cycle uses sensor feedback, it’s not a fixed programme. For example it’ll vary with input water temperature. Some dishwashers have variable length rinse cycles that use optical cleanliness sensors mounted in the drain pipe; maybe some washing machines are similar.

Can't say we've really noticed the trump/kim extravaganza this week. The roads have been a lot quieter but but i think that is more to do with this being the local school holiday - a lot of people are out of the country this week. Perhaps the Singapore government planned it that way.... |
