I thought it would be a nice idea to look at Christmas Cakes, I dont recall a thread ever being made about what recipes we use for the crowning glory of most christmas buffet tables. This recipe is a family one that to the best of my knowledge has been used for the best part of 90 years or more...

Hi Guys, Lets hear about all of you whom have low water/energy HE, ECO machines who get perfect results time upon time without excessive waste of water. Did you buy the machine thru choice? Has it been reliable? What changes or provisions do you make to get great results? Would you have one...

Hi there, I wonder if I could ask a favour regarding your 1970's Miele automatic. Could you possibly post a few pics of the door seal set up please and door area - one has appeared on ebay UK that we are going for and this would help us with a repair. We are not really sure what to expect...

In November the Creda Chatsworth I had in my house gave up the ghost with a dodgy thermocoupler in the oven and 2 faulty gas rings that would barely stay lit. Try entertaining the clan here with 2 rings and a barely cool or roasting hot oven without going beetroot red at the table when all is...

UK chaps be warned. Local to me we have a chain of stores "Family Bargains" similar to B&M's/HomeBargains/QualitySave selling Ariel compact powder in cardboard boxes. Bought 2 boxes considering they were a bargain, alarm struck when I opened the box - it had no tear strip and the box felt...

In November last year Im moved into my current house and needed a new fridge freezer. Currys were running the Hotpoint FF200 on a half price promo and being the largest and cheapest for the money I took the plunge and laid down £270. Yes I had those Indesit thoughts and worries but considering...

Moved house again, (novelty is wearing off I hasten to admit) and finally got somewhere where there is enough plumbing to go fully automatic with all washing and drying. Paul bought this last year and its sat patiently waiting to be used til now so heres a few pics for those interested.

Finally found a scene and a darn bloody good one showing Pat Butchers Hotpoint 18580 in the Walford guest house. Had always remembered it to be a 4 button Liberator but seeing as I was 8 years old last time I saw it IIRC has lead to some confusement over the years. Probably the very same...

So here we are, saturday morning Paul and myself do the usual round of charity shop searches in Crewe hoping to find something but not hoping to find anything when Paul spots this beaut! Paul will explain where it lies in the line up but Id thought we'd struck gold fiinding the 800rpm version...

Hi guys, Last week myself and RichBUK went to Bristols Costco where we bought a big tub of Kirkland powder. Thing is I wondered who makes it and whats in it? It has quite a strong smell, very pungunt to say the least but what got me was the fact it comes with the scoop provided in the...

Hi folks, Most of you know i moved house in January and now have the ability to use the machines Paul and myself have collected over the past 3 years. Had the hotpoint 95620 initially in use for 8 weeks but after a hopefully minor hiccup its been temporarily retired until I can look at it...

got me a fab new Dell Netbook but the present that caused the most fuss was Paul aka matchboxpaul's present from me. Just had to take pictures as he opened it!!! Framed Hoover teatowel featuring the Hoover Matchbox FL his Mum had, hence his username here.

Fab advert. Good job the machine is interesting cos the Dreary Deirdre aint doing much to convince me.

Ok so in 2008 we got the Hotpoint Liberator Dryer 1701 as the first piece of Purple History.

Found this Philips Hostess food mixer/liquidiser a few weeks ago in a charity shop and could not resist it. So today I gave it its first run with a lemon meringue pie. Also today from the very same charity shop I bagged a Magimix 4100 complete with attachments for £15 - I just couldnt leave...

Or have they reformulated Ariel again so that you need to buy this too? Saw this today, not bought any yet though.

heres the 1992 Brochure from the House of Elecrolux. This range of machines is particularly special to me as it was from this range my parents selected the model I knew from the age of 8 to 16.

Starting with this GE Iron, it appears to be American being 110V and having an american plug on it. Seems that whoever used it last was able to use it in europe with a converter. Thing is im not sure that anywhere in Europe is still 110V. Can anyone enlighten me?

Guys I was wondering if there was a way to make your own Taco Shells? Have googled it but all I can find is instructions to fry Tortilla wraps and bend them for the heat to crisp and set them. I dont particularly want to do this due to the grease factor. What im looking for is a dough mix with...

were they sold there or was it from someone who emmigrated? Looks to be in good condition, 40 seconds into the video. http://www.youtube.com/user/UncleMuncher#p/u/133/fMztWCnLwZs
