I have recently been putting to the test the claim that you MUST!!! use low sudsing detergents in front loaders, well for the past 2-3- weeks, I have been using normal "Surf", powder in the Bosch F.L.,as my little Deli has been out of Persil for a while,and I have not noticed a great deal of...

all I want for Xmas My dear Mum and Dad to be sent back to me from heaven. Funny you know they have been gone for 7 and 5 years respectively and you think I would just get used to it, however this time of year always gets to me when I think of my youing days of opening my presents from them and...

I would be curious to know if the recent violent brawls here in Sydney received much coverage overseas and if so what would the general view be? I must say that while I am against violent protesting as such, I do understand why the citizens of the affected suburbs did what tehy did. For a few...

OZ not any better Hi everyone, I am afraid this situation is mirrored here in Australia, with nearly everything imported from Asian countries i..e. Taiwan, China Korea and so forth, now I don't have anything against the people of those nations, however I do wonder how we are supposed to compete...

agree about whirlpool Yes Arroohhh, I agree with you about the Whirlpool T.L.'S being clothes shredders as our last t.l. was a 6.5 kilo Whirlpool which we had for 3 years and we fou8nd it's washing action was very rough on the clothing,even on the gentler cycles it still ripped them around a...

stay away from Bosch as well!!!!! Hi there Lulu, I don't know a great deal about Ariston but may I also suggest stay away from Bosch as well, their ""customer service???""is absolutly terrible, it took them 6 weeks to fix my front loader. Cheers Steve.

front loader vs twin tub Agiflow, I do not own a T.L. any more and haven't for about 3 years, I do however own a Bosch F.L. and an NEC twin tub which I bought when the F.L. broke down and to tell you the truth once I mastered the art of it I find I prefer to wash in the twinnie as opposed to...

Do any of our Aussie contingent know the answer to this question which has been puzzling me for quite some time now. the Colgate-Palmolive detergent ''Cold Power", has it always been called cold power or many years ago was it known as Blue Torrent powder, or indeed was Blue Torrent a different...

Have a look at www.ebay.com.au and see a very cute little General Electric Turbo Twin Tub for sale in Adelaide, South Australia, note the cute storage rack on top of the machine. hhhmmmm, why are the real cuties always in other States except mine or if they are in mine they are always far,far away.

water problems in Australia The water problem here in Australia has been caused simply by a lack of planning by the Federal and State Governments over many many years, also the rapidly increased(and still increasing population) also puts a great strain on the systems. Mind you here in my State...

some more cartoons come to mind Young Samson and Goliath, The Mighty Mightor and Moby Dick, now that I think of it I used to run around the backyard screaming out ""mightorrrrrrrrrrrr". I also liked Shazzan the one about the 2 kids who discovered a magic ring when which put together summoned a...

I just purchased a set of dvd's on e-bay and recently received them. They were about an old cartoon which was around when I was a young fella about a superhero named "Prince Planet", and they bought back a lot of old memories for me, and started me thinking, what were everyone else's favourite...

There is a classic old Wilkins Servis fully automatic toploader on Aussie ebay, go to www.ebay.com.au and have a peek, pity it is too far away from me. Also someone is selling old washer advertisements from various magazines funny seeing old Dame Edna flogging Whirlpool again.

Ah yes! good ol Kelvinator O.K. fellow Aussies hands up who remembers the old Kelvinator ads which were done by the famous english comedian Dick Emery? the slogan was ''Kelvinator has something for everyone''am I correct or am I totally stupid and wrong? Also the famous Kelvinator customer...

twin tub rinsing Hi Laundress, I hope you don't mind me butting in here, but I have to agree with gizmo about rinsing in twintubs in my N.E.C. twinnie I wash items then put half load in spintub and just run water slowly over them to let them absorb it ,spin it out and repeat it again, I used to...

I went for a trip into Sydney last weekend just for a general browse and to my surprise I discovered a shop which sells all sorts of goodies imported from the U.K. and I found boxes of Persil non-bio powder!!!!! I will be very interested to compare it to the German Persil made by Henkel, which I...

I would like to congratulate our British friends on their team winning the Ashes cricket tests. The British team simply played too well for our guys so well done. I wonder if this means there in now a new order in cricket with our domination coming to an end. Just goes to show that no-one rules...

People in public life A most interesting question, I would jump in and try to save him for at the end of the day he is a human being regardless of politics. This topic has intrigued me and if I may, I would like to pose a similar type of question to everyone. Fairly recently here in New South...

Omomatic vs Persil Aarroohh, I would have to agree with you to a point about Omomatic, it is a great detergent however asd I have posted before my little European Deli near where I live stock the German Persil (and incidentally they now keep Dixan powder as well), and I just swear by the Persil...

Yay for the German Persil I am not surprised the German Persil, (Henkel), came out on top as I have been using it for about 6 months here in Australia, and I wouldn't swap it for the world. I think it leaves all the better known detergents here in Australia for dead. I must confess though my...
