Just a heads up if anyone hits the same problem that I did. I had a problematic screw with a stripped head on my washing machine that I couldn't get out...compounded by it being in an awkward location I'm now aware there are lots of 'workarounds' for stripped screws out there on the internet...

......I've just had a flash back to the Dow Jones stock index closing.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Sp5lM4ES_I .....yep, late in the day a complete bell end enters the proceedings. Dude, it might have escaped you - we're done! (you could have used the time spent typing to pickup...
