New washing machine cracks down on layabout men
A high-tech washing machine called Your Turn could soon enforce gender equality in every British household.

Pep Torres, a Spanish designer, has exploited fingerprint recognition technology to subvert what was supposed to be the perfect Father's Day gift.

His washing machine is programmed to prevent the same person using it twice in a row to try to ensure that men do their share of domestic chores.
