Delicate Wash

Toddler terror Wenwen Ayli destroyed his mum's washing machine when he tried to create his own private roundabout - in his mum's spin dryer. Thee three year old tot climbed into the tub after being inspired by a trip to a Western-style playground in Zhejiang, eastern China. But within seconds he was stuck fast and his mum Lu Lin had to dial 999 for help. Firemen eventually cut the youngster free after dismantling the entire washing machine. "He's been roundabout mad ever since he saw one and thought the washing machine was the same sort of thing," explained his mum.
