Hello, Enjoying a memory trip tidying up physical and digital pics during the lock-down, came across this pic I took on a visit to London in 2017, of the buildings at 20-22 Bradmore Park Rd, Hammersmith. This was where I worked the summer of 1990 at the Kevlin Service Centre, a large Hoover...

A Crystaljet like this (won in a competition) replaced our 1981 Indesit in late 1992 (the Indesit's door was falling off with rust). Washed well and lasted up to 2002 when it was replaced by a Zanussi after its timer failed.
