Hello!
In the old days we would put a wash on when it is windy outside so clothes dry, but in the future we could be washing when it is windy because electricity bills are lower.
Based on the aforementioned sentence, I would like to ask you if "put on a wash" means "put the (dirty) laundry into the washing machine and get the washing machine ready for operation"?
In that case, if I am not mistaken, the sentence would read "In the old days we would put the (dirty) laundry into the washing machine and get the washing machine ready for operation when it was windy outside so clothes dry, but in the future we could be washing when it is windy because electricity bills are lower.
Do you agree with me?
Does "put a wash on" sound somewhat similar to "put the kettle on" in terms of getting whatever device ready for operation?
What do you think?
Thank you.
