Must be a Welsh machine. I'll be there now, in a minute.

The labelling is in Dutch, so it's either a Dutch or a Flemish machine.

It was a joke, since the Welsh say "I'll do it now, straight away" for immediately, but "Now, in a minute" for I'll do it, but have no estimate of when it will get done.

to go full circle, it's a samsung eco bubble of sorts. I have one myself as a dutchy and I think it does time itself based on what's in there so it's just an estimation.

Yeah, I have the same machine. it will be saying 1 minute left on the spin cycle for 10 minutes.
