"Here's my vote for my obvious invention that everyone missed: <a href=""http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-40821915"">http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-40821915</a>    The idea is", a washing machine has a lop-sided load so you have a concrete block to stop it wobbling. But that's heavy so it's costs more to transport washing machines and they are difficult to install due to the weight. The answer: Have a plastic container and keep it empty during transport and fill it with water when it's in its final resting place.
