A nice simple one that i'm sure has already been answered but thought about today ... for the umpteenth time

Why when you place pillow cases, bedsheet and duvet cover into the washing machine individually .. come wash finish the pillow cases always end up inside the duvet cover

Because you didn't bother to button the duvet cover before putting it in the machine.

ETA: Bugger. Beaten by Doofus.

I never button the duvet cover and the pillow cases don't get caught inside, they'll come out of the wash separate. Can someone advise what I'm doing wrong?

Your washing machine is possessed by helpful laundry demons; to exorcise them place the machine inside a circle of 13 laundry balls, scatter socks around the outside and then set it on fire.

Quite possibly, I rarely lose a sock.

I do make a regular sacrifice to the washing gods.

Only if it weeps when it's wrung out.

Or can be folded like cardboard

No. We used to call them continental quilts, now we call them duvets.

Although it's not their real name. It's just a cover

Does anyone sell dryers that don't do that? The parents had one but it was made by English Electric in 19mumblefumble.

About 10 drachma an hour.

Oh, wait, wrong punchline.

Most counties in this country seem to end in Shire and named after the county town such as Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire etc with a few exceptions like Wiltshire and Hampshire, why is this and why do we not have a Kentshire or Surreyshire for example?

Counties that aren't shires were Anglo-Saxon kingdoms.

That's all I know.
