Is due to arrive at any minute and I have been summoned to disconnect the old one in order that the delivery people can take it away. How hard can it be to unscrew a hose from a tap and pull out a plug from a wall socket? Do I have to do everything around here.

Where did you think the terms "Underdog" and "Dog's life" came from?
Bite the delivery man.

This is when you find all the nuts have seized (story of my life lol:), that you give yourself blisters trying to unscrew the bloody things. WD40 doesn't actually work and you end up just ripping the bastard things out. Thereby causing far more damage than you ever thought possible and making the refitting of brand new shiny appliance impossible.
Sorry just venting evil:

Job done in two minutes flat ~ I fitted it you see so all threads were coated with vaseline to prevent eventual seizure and, as they are nylon anyway, were only done up ~ as the maufacturer recommends ~ finger tight. No spanners were harmed in the install or un-install of the machine. whistle: (https://www.virtual-pub.com/SMF/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.freesmileys.org%2Fsmileys%2Fsick010.gif&hash=f55d4817f2b7977dd7edaae39e2694ffaa37467a) Don't make me cough ~ it hurts!

At the foot of the mountain, half way up which I live, there is a fresh and free flowing stream (Well actually it runs down the mountain to emerge at the Waterfalls) Given a large rock and a pair of flip flops perhaps the little woman might care to avail herself of the facilities.
