I have just watched a documentary on national geographic channel regarding the evil drug "meth" or "ice" as it is commonly called here in Australia and it was really eye-opening about the effects of this horrible drug, and it also made reference to a website based in the state of Montana...

Nice looking unit Hello Nathan, That is certainly a nice looking unit, it's funny though seeing a twintub with an actual agitator instead of a pulsator disc, I wonder when it was decided to change from agitators to pulsators?, well done though on a great little find. It looks like there are...

Many thanks Thank you to all for the birthday wishes and that cake looks absolutly delicious and happy birthday to all others on or near the same day as well. I have decided that being 43 is not so bad but something to look forward to and to treasure. Cheers folks. Steve.

Just to add!! Sorry I forgot this in the previous post in those days and up to the early 1980's I think it was, aerosol cans were called pressure paks and Samuel Taylor was also known as the pressure pak company (yes the word pak was spelt that way). The products included Mortein, Preen...

Mortein and Louie the Fly Hello Nathan, I am not sure if you are old enough to remember but Mortein also had another funny cartoon advertisement many years ago, it was narrated by John Laws of radio 2.U.E.,(I think your equivalent is 4B.C.),in which JOhn spoke about the nuisance of flies and...

wash times Hi folks, I find in the twintub that 6-9 minutes on standard wash action is plenty in getting clothes clean,I tend not to use the intensive wash action as it causes the clothes to tangle a bit. The wash timer does go up to 15 minutes however I couldn't imagine anything needing that...

Haier top loader Hi Arrrooohhh, Yes I have seen this machine as well and it looks like a real beauty,if it is selling well I would put that down to the 10 year warranty as I understand it covers service,parts and labour costs as well. Did you know that Choice included it in their most recent...

Blue Torrent Hi Chris, No the Blue Torrent I was referring to was around many many years ago and I am pretty sure(but not 100%) that it was the precursor to Cold Power, you see it was a mainly cold water powder and from memory had similar packaging to the first Cold Power packets,with the...

I think both manufacturers and supermaket chains have got it in for me as quite a few of the products I like to buy and I trust are being discontinued. Recently I have been trying in vain to purchase the Raid brand Surface Spray with eggstoppers,as I find this spray does not knock you out with a...

Add Bosch to your list Nick, I totally agree with you about some modern appliances, my old Bosch Maxx lasted me just 3 years and carked it with just standard weekly use i.e, 3 times a week. I was sooo angry and will never buy or recommend Bosch to any of my friends. Actually in March it will...

Hurricane Hurricane detergent and Fluffy fabric softener used to be made by an Australian owned company called Campbell Bros, hiowever they sold their detergent business to Colgate-Palmolive a few years ago so both brands are now made by C.P it is not a premium brand and personally I would rank...

Liquid Spree and Scotts Hello Matty, I notice in the liquid section, you have a liquid Spree,I don't remember seeing that here in N.S.W. is it a new product?,and also the "Scotts's Liquid laundry detergent, is that also a generic brand exclusive to I.G.A?, you see where I live in south west...

My Mum's first automatic Hi Nathan, This is almost exactly the same as my Mum's first automatic washer. the only difference was her model did not have a heater built in. It was really a great washer and lasted her about 16 years before finally breaking down altogether and this was washing...

twintubs all the way Hi Vintagesearch, I have never owned a H.E. T.L., but I have owned a front loader and various top loaders in my life, however now that I have a large twintub, I must admit to being their biggest fan. I love the fact that I can wash a lot faster than any automatic, can save...

sorry to hear it Hi Matty, I am very saddened to read about poor Jock passing away,it is very heaertbreaking when our beloved pets pass on, because as others have already posted, they really are a part of the family. When my little mini-fox terrier Max died about a year ago, I cried for about 3...

Cockroaches down under Hi Oxydolfan, Yes I am afraid that there is no escape from the little horrors they even found there way down here. I must admit though, I personally don't have a real problem with them at home , I learnt after 1 or 2 experiences with "professional??"pest...
