They also have sausages!
I like the "above the eyebrows" bit. Too much detail.
You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

No tulip!Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

The machine is supposed to have a large metal container outside the flap, to receive the mix. The machine would only keep the flap open if it detected this metal. But they were using a plastic container, so they fooled the sensor with a metal clipboard. This must have become dislodged, do the flap shut.
Methinks: If it is meant to be used only with a large metal container, only use it with a large metal container. Full stop.
If it must be used with a plastic container, change it so that it will work with a plastic container. Change it, not just fool the sensor.
Is this not obvious?Comment
