Just a bit of fun! Can you name the machines? This is from a 73-74 catalogue and thankfully a washer page has been taken. I also notice the ebay name of supermatic so maybe one of us. Anyway enjoy and good luck to whomever bids. Rob...

Hi all You might have seen a few weeks ago I mentioned a show by Garry Lavin called 'Every home should have one'. It was a great series on how our lives have been improved by domestic inventions the washing machine being one. Well Garry kindly wrote to me and has uploaded some short clips...

Thanks for posting, it was great to see the Servis in action. My mother had this machine but I have very vague memories of it! I don't think the top was that lovely stainless steel though, I seem to remember white. Wash-in's are great! I just wish we all lived closer that's all. Rob

The Hoover Twinny That Hoover Twinny is beautiful, I hope it goes to a great home it is like new. Since owning one I am becoming a bit of a fan of twinnies and will do a vid of mine when the weather improves. Rob

My aunt's mystery machine Hi Matthew Thanks for posting! This has now resolved a mystery for me as my great aunt had this spinner and I never knew what it was. I think the label faced away or had fallen off. Having played about a bit with my twin-tub 9404 I can confirm how wonderful the spin...

Hi Paul is this the one!

Hi Darren Congratulations, he'll be a good old Sagitarian like me LOL! I am really pleased for you! We must catch up at some point. This must be a truely magical moment. I hope you have a fab time with him and a superb Xmas and New Year. All the best Rob

Hi all, glad you caught this last night! It was quite fun to watch but I wish they had included a few other bits. For example, they talked about the 2000rpm spin but nothing about the spinning results. They also did not mention what sort of detergent they were using. I did not expect the name...

Hi Dyson2drums, the program is yet to be aired. Next Monday on Five at 8pm Rob

Hi Mike It was a new style Hottie from about 2001 I think! They also featured a see through machine and showed a Hoover twin tub. I would put it on youtube but I'm worried about copyright and I wouldn't want to lose my account. Hi Paul That would be very interesting. I'm intrigued at what...

Great work Paul and Rob Congratulations on your lovely new washer! I’ve never had the pleasure of seeing one of these in the flesh. If one comes up near me I may well think about getting one. Thanks for the videos and piccies. I am currently still debating getting that Hotpoint twinny! Might...

Garry Lavin LOL, I'm showing my age, I'm 35 next week!! I'm actually in the process of converting my millions of videos to DVD, which is taking forever. I found a program by Garry Lavin 'Every home should have one'. It had a bit on washers on it, does anyone remember the program? Rob...

Great work you have done there. This really takes me back to my childhood. The machine looks like new. All the best with it! Rob

The Hoover Electron ....is the same as mine and mine was made in May 1986, 22 years old! 7 years indeed!! If these people really wanted a good sell they should write retro on there and plenty of people would be interested! This Hottie twin tub is the in town 5 mins from me, I might think about...

The Evil Dead For me it has to be the Evil Dead, the original 1981 version! The poster really freaked me out as a child (attached)! I used to really wonder what went on in that film. Later I saw it and it was quite funny but very gory. The thing that really freaked me out was the Omen music...
