    OMG TYLER! Drying clothes outside is the best! To see the washing blowing gently in the summer breeze is lovely. When you bring the washing in, it smells so fresh and clean and getting into bed with clean sheets dried outside is a feeling like no other. I've even sold my dryer recently as I hardly ever used it. As for the washing machine in the kitchen, most people don't have laundry/utility rooms here in the UK.

      In South Africa most middleclass homes have a clothes dryer but they're usually only used when the weather is bad. We have lots of sun and use an outside wash lines to dry our clothes same as the UK. Sunshine here though, although giving a nice fresh smell and good for killing germs too, is liable to bleach laundry so we have to either dry in the cooler psrts of the day or turn clothes indide out. A dryer is a luxury to run as they consume huge amounts of power

    We tend to "peg out" the laundry for a couple of reasons, the wind and sun tend to make it very dry very fast, the smells smell fresher and it's much cheaper considering the cost of electricity. The washing machine typically goes in the kitchen near the sink because that's where the water pipes are, although some newer houses may have a specific utility room, but it's a fashion thing

    Ideally in Britain we have a separate 'Utility Room' for laundry, but in many homes this just isn't possible, as there is no space for it, in the same way that we don't routinely have walk in closets in bedrooms. We can't have washing machines in the bathroom as there are no power outlets in there- and often the bathroom wouldn't have room for laundry stuff anyway.
    Drying clothes outdoors leads to much a much 'fresher' smell without resorting to chemicals, and also the sunlight will fade residual staining, whereas a dryer will bake that in. But also- electricity is expensive- why use it un-necessarily? Plus there are environmental reasons for using less electricity. It shocks me how many Americans seem to think that convenience trumps consideration of the state of the world around them.

    You're aware that laundry dryers use more power than an electric oven, right? The only reason why Brits would ever use a dryer is because it's raining outside, and even then, some of us will use an indoor clothes hanger to dry clothes inside the house if we don't have the space for a dryer. What I find crazy is that in the states you have much better weather than us, but still use a laundry dryer when it can be 100 degrees Fahrenheit outside and you can let mother nature dry your clothes for the low-low price of free!

    Drying the laundry outdoors makes a lot of sense in many ways
    - It doesn't draw any electricity
    - The fabrics lasts a lot longer
    - Clothes and sheets smell so good after being air dried.
    - Less wrinkels, you may not need to use the iron.
    - I don't know how it works, but the sunshine acts as a mild bleach, so white stuff ends up whiter, while dark clothes aren't affected.

      Well done! My great aunt Nell is 93 next week (April Fool's Day) and has a German Shepherd bitch, of roughly 6 years of age, so nice and strong and fit as a fiddle. Aunty has a small holding that she works away on all day - hens, ducks, goats and a cranky old donkey. She's up early each day to milk her 3 nanny goats, feed the poultry and collect the eggs. Only after those chores does she walk the dog and I really mean walk the dog. She gets on her stout brogues and she's off for about an hour. She does that twice a day and remains mainly on her own land. We recently gave her a wee device to show the miles she covers whilst out all day on her smallholding and also how far she goes with her dog. We were all staggered - Aunty does on average, 2 miles each dog walk and pottering about the gardens, the house, the dog walk and seeing to the animals, the grand total of 7.5 miles! Amazing for an elderly lady. Both you and aunty Nell could show these American's a thing or too when it comes to clocking up the miles! I wish you many, many more happy, healthy and stress free walks. God Bless.

    Hey! I grew up doing pantomimes since I was 6. They're essentially plays that are produced to be interactive with the audience, often including a tale that's been altered in some way to be comedic. For example one year we did sleeping beauty, and there's typically a dame (a man who dresses up in a frock and wears makeup), the 'comedic duo', there's a main evil villain who sometimes has a sidekick, there's the protagonist who is more often than not the son/daughter of the dame, and then anyone else on the cast who supports the main roles. We often throw sweets out into the audience, squirt them with water guns, or will walk out to get them to take part in the show. It's also where the phrases 'he's behind you' and 'oh no he isn't!' come from if you ever hear them used jokingly

      I think it’s also the way British housing has evolved when you think how small our houses are and how many of us live on this small Island. It’s not that long ago, that bathrooms and kitchens were built onto houses instead of having a privy in the yard and having the washing done in the back yard. You would have wash day where everyone up the street would wash and dry the clothes on the same day. We also have clothes airers for inside the house. Even as late as the 1980s our neighbour was scandalised when my Mum would put her washing out on the wrong day. We have ‘good drying days’ I love our tumble dryer but still hang our clothes out ‘on a good day’ my Mum is very middle class so refuses to have a tumble drier and insists on having a very small T.V. Screen but that’s a whole other thing.

    The reason most British homes have the washing machine in the kitchen is because pre WW 2, most of the toilets were outside and no indoor bathrooms ( tin bath by the fire) then the toilets came inside and were usually put in the coal sheds/ cupboard under the stairs in the kitchen in the older homes then new builds fromthe 70s onward had plumming upstairs so the bathrooms were up stairs . The plumming was still in the kitchen for washing clothes, so they just put the washing machine in the kitchen. Also, we dont put electric plug sockets in the bathroom because its dangerous to mix electric and water.

    You really need to learn about the British Pantomime (more commonly known as the Panto). They're usually fairytale or folklore based (the traditional stories are like Aladdin, Sleeping Beauty, Puss in Boots, Dick Whittington etc, but Robin Hood and so on also happen). The Panto is very comic book with exaggerated characters (like 'The Dame'), features slapstick, songs (usually adapted contemporary music) and humor that splits itself between the stuff for the kids and stuff only the adults will get (usually quite suggestive stuff). The characters are usually made of stock characters like the 'Lead Boy (most often played by a girl, they would be someone like Aladdin or Jack from jack and the beanstalk), a comic book level, moustache twirling villain, an inept sidekick or two and the 'Dame' (usually played by an obviously male actor). It's quite an experience lol. A good panto is amazing.

    Dunno, maybe because it’s good for you, maybe because using a car if we indeed have one for something literally down the road from us is wasteful, bad for the environment.
    No wonder there’s such an obesity issue in the states and unfortunately we here in the uk are catching up.

    It's free to dry your clothes in the fresh air and better for the environment, plus they smell better and don't shrink, they also last longer. Beans on toast is a must!! And a lot of UK homes are hundreds of years old , don't have a dedicated laundry room basement or garage, the pipes are in the kitchen hence that's where the washer goes. Great episode 👏

    Where the washing machine is in the house is nothing to do with cleanliness. It's to do with space, water and electrical supply. If a washing machine is in the bathroom it has to be wired to a specially protected electrical outlet as water and electricity do not mix.

We do have specially protected shaver sockets where you can charge your electric toothbrush as well.

    Re laundry.
    It's fairly unusual to have a cellar, especially one with plumbing; many houses - especially older ones - don't have an attached garage; obviously terraced houses, flats and maisonettes don't have attached garages. Houses in general have a very small footprint compared to most of the rest of the developed world. Clearly a washing machine needs to be close to plumbing - so that leaves us with bathroom, toilet or kitchen, or adjacent to them. You would hardly want the wm on the upstairs landing or in tbe dining room ...
    Dryers are a space issue, too. They also take a harsh toll on clothing and are relatively expensive to run. People who own them often only use them occasionally, preferring to use wind and solar powered drying devices (ie washing lines of various types) whenever possible.

      Why use a drier when the sun can do the job for you.?

    We do have dryers but mostly in laundrets, if its raining we dont use the clothing line "clothesline" i call it, we have an inside thing called a "clothes horse"

      We have driers at home, along with washing machines. We also have a clothesline, never use it though.

    My mum used to have what we called the wash house. It was seperate from the kitchen,that is unusual now because British houses are very small compared with American houses, but my mums house was a terraced house which are quite small and joined together in rows. Drying washing outside is free ,use less energy and smell way better. I think there maybe houses today that have utility rooms these days for laundry,but I don't know for sure. My washer is in the kitchen and it's not a problem and I dry my clothes outside if the weather permits.
