Hi All. I use Ariel colour liquid and Tesco's colour liquid ,which is almost identical in performance and fragrance. I have found Surf to be poor in cleaning ability and its "fragrance "- Lemon & Bergamot insignificant . I bought a big box of the stuff so I now use it to soak floor cloths before...

HI Paul.. Please forgive me if someone has mentioned or asked this before but, has anyone worked or seen the "props" department at the BBC ? Do they have many vintage machines "in stock" for 1950-70's period productions ? I imagine a warehouse somewhere, packed with vintage appliances...

Clubbing Days -A distant memory ! Hi Aquarius1984. Thank you for the invite. Date scones are my fave. My last "clubbing " venture was back in 2004 in Leeds. Never again ! We looked like 3 old age pensioners . No Joke ! Long gone are the HI-NRG 80's although, a retro club may tempt me out of...

Getting older....... Hi. I know Im getting old because , a pair of slippers and a cardigan look "comfy" to me ! When you realise todays music is just "noise" . When tea and scones have more appeal than a night out clubbing. Oh, and when you see a policeman who looks 18 yrs old ! When my greying...

Hello Everyone. I was wondering if anyone could help me with some advice on how to restore my mantle clock face cheaply. The clock works fine and chimes beautifully. I have asked restoration professionals and was staggered by how much they charge for "face lifts "! I really cannot afford to have...
