Although certain parts can be cleaned during normal usage, the dryer part seems almost designed to become clogged up with enough use, needing either non-trivial maintenance or a replacement machine.</p> I’d had the same experience with an Indesit washer/dryer recently.

Yes, I do plan to run some public training courses this year. It’s nice to know there’s demand!

I’ll be in touch when I’ve fleshed out the details.

Do you offer open BDD and cucumber training courses that people like myself (freelance test engineer) can pay and book on to in 2012? Or do you just offer your services to companies interested in BDD and cucumber.

Loved the book btw, great read.

Thanks in advance.
