Damn right it's better than yours

Dear Beko, please do not install extra dimensions in your fridges.

Some time today, the 4-pint bottle of milk which my company put in the shared office fridge split. Then all the milk slowly dribbled out onto the door shelf, the bottom of the fridge, and ultimately the floor.

Fair enough, this is annoying, but these things happen. So I mopped up all the spilt milk, washed the detachable bits of the fridge, washed the rest down. Then I closed the door... and there was milk all over the floor again. I should have remembered from last time this happened. Mop, move door, mop, move door, rinse, repeat, scream.

Somewhere inside the fridge door is a magical extra compartment which, in these circumstances, fills up with milk. We can't find it, we can't find a way in to it. There are no obvious apertures or seams or cracks through which the milk travels. We can determine that the door seal is full of milk and mop it out, but moving the door causes it to fill up again in a mysterious and unknowable way. It's very probably squamous (and if it isn't now, it will be in a few weeks' time).

After an entertaining 15 minutes of door-moving and re-mopping, I think I've got it all out. Let's hope so.
