Tumble dryers beware


I have just found out that the villiage pub had a fire upstairs last night due to the tumble dryer overheating. Luckly all the people got out and the dogs too. They where no signs of the cats afterwards so i am praying they escaped. Please becarefull of your drier if you have one i will from now on.

Re: Tumble dryers beware


Yikes! Mine runs all the time due to 2 grubby boys and a tiny garden which would be swamped by washing and little else. Still, it is a worry

Someone in Reading had their house burn down a couple of years ago because they'd left their mobile phone on to charge overnight and the charger unit overheated. You just can't be too careful with electricals can you!
