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 ... :-)


The British have humor? Who knew! Is that why you use all those
extra 'U's? ;-)

But we invented Python and The Office and Fawlty Towers .... AND the
English language. Not our problem if you forgot how to spell it on the long
sea journey over ... :-) I have to admit that your Mr Bush was pretty
funny though !
