Made in Australia Hello Peter, I have just read the Spree box and it states made in Australia by Colgate Palmolive. That is actually curious, I wonder if thye will dispose of their brands here it may be the end of my Spree(wouldn't you just know it).

Hi folks, I have recently started trying a different detergent called Spree, it is Colgate-Palmolive's mid-range powder and so far I have found it to be very satisfactory and it has a really nice fragrance called fresh breeze. I think it is Colgate's answer to Unilever's Surf which I have also...

Persil in Australia Hi Irishwashguy, Persil in Australia is called Omo and it is the Unilever version, it has exactly the same formula. The Henkel Persil is generally very hard to get, although where I live the little family delicatessen used to get it and I used it many times,however they have...

call me old fashioned but........ I prefer the older series of Doctor Who, it just seems more relevant to me than either of the new ones. I liked Jon Pertwee the best followed by Colin Baker whom I thought was not given a fair go by the producers, I feel he could have rejuvenated the show, but...

Another Twintub or recon Hoover front loader I would not buy an automatic top loader anymore as all the models that I am aware of here in Australia have those blasted computerized control panels which I simply do not like, If I were to buy a new machine I would go the the Hitachi PSB99BP 8kg...

CR Washer tests. I would be curious to know if C.R.,rated any twin tubs in their reports, you see the equivalent here in Australia called Choice magazine, did their reports on washers here a few months ago and they never test any twintubs at all, even though there are about 4-5 different models...

Well it is now Christmas eve here in Australia and here in Sydney it is a little warm with lots of rain(thank goodness and do we ever need plenty of it),and I must admit to feeling a little bit sentimental over family and friends who have passed on, and yet I also feel a warm glow inside over...
