Ice maker spitting out the next batch??

Ice maker !! ?? This isn't America you know!

Arfa, he was trying to be funny. The sound of ice cubes being ejected into
the ice-cube-holding box sounds exactly like ice cubes being ejected into
an
ice-cube-holding box. You wouldn't mistake it for anything else.



This I know, William. Having spent a fair bit of time living in American
vacation homes, I am quite familiar with the sound of ice cubes being
discharged into the holding hopper. i didn't actually see the comment as an
attempt at humour. Seemed to be a reasonable suggestion based on the fact
that ice discharging can be quite noisy. I guess it's another example of the
differences between British and American humour ... :-)
