A logical decision.

[newwave1]

Hey Guys!
Myself and jon spent this afternoon at his house did a load in his miele and i invited him back to my place.

I orginially decided we would do a load in my AEG.

However an idea popped into my head. My parents are away, usually i either bring one of my machines in from the cold or get a new one. Well paydays not until Friday...so i brought my Hoover indoors for a little wednesday evenin tumble. lol.

We've already done one load of towels and have another on as we speak. I've also got sheets and darks to do. I've included a pic of it stood by my AEG..which is now redundate for a week or two.

I will include a video later. Hope you guys like it!

Darren

P.S I've named the pic "New school VS Old School!" lol!

 

[newwave1]

And heres the brochure shot! lol

 

[newwave1]

A very "Bold" choice it was Darren, to move the Logic indoors! What's more I can't even hear it churning away whilst I'm sat up here hijacking your computer .

Jon

(who will soon be going back down to enjoy a waft of Bold Ocean Clear liquid along with a Wednesday Evening Tumble)

 

[sadose]

Oh how very chic! I bet you two are having a nice evening! That Logic is so 'with it'....Now then, where are my purple corduroy trousers with the pink briefs sewn in over the top.....???

 

[newwave1]

the Vintage Brochure shot shoes casually laid around...sheets and towels stacked ontop..with a detergent bottle on the bottom...lol! all thats missing are the worksurfaces and farmhouse style kitchen units!

Nice One!!!

Hi Boys..

Big Box Powder n Fabric Conditioner plus Stella Artois in the Fridge , what more could a wash session need!!!

Enjoy, Mike

p.s. Hey Darren, make sure Jon doesnt boil wash you trainers, you know what he`s like with those knobs!!!!

 

[newwave1]

I'm being made to reply here again by our dearest Darren... so here I am!

Mike - how cheeky of you to insinuate that I shall be boilwashing his trainers! . We've been doing 3 Fast Coloureds loads and now got a load of darks on Delicates as we speak . All in Bold Ocean Clear liquid for that pure vintage smell!

And of course, there's no need to use fabric conditioner with good ol' Bold .

Jon

(Consequently, for those fearing the rinse results with Bold, Darren and I can reassure all that all the final rinses have been as clear as rain. I would say as clear as a muddy puddle but I'd get a slap for that from Darrenski).

Oh, and btw...

...refreshments have been Earl Grey tea with After Eight's. Very Hyacinth Bouquet-esque...

“The Bouquet residence… The lady… err… man… err… blokes out the house speaking… Oh it’s you, Carl!”

The Bouquet blokes turn away from the phone:

“It’s our Carl… you know…. the one who is… err… shall we say… physically challenged and has to volunteer from home… He has no need to work – he has Miele washing machine and refrigerator, don’t you know… Mmmm… yes… They’re very nice… continental European, you know… German, in fact…. Mmm… yes… Very smart… I saw them at one of his finger buffets earlier…”

LOL!

Yes – I do watch Keeping Up Appearances! Love it!

 

[carlstock]

It’s “Bucket” anyway (pronounced “Boo-kay”), not “Bouquet”!

;-)

Hi, Darren and Jon!

I’ve not even responded properly to your posts yet!

One of my friends down here had a Hoover Logic washer dryer. I can’t remember the model – sorry! – but I know it had a darkish grey front panel and looked just like the one in your photos. It was replaced in about 1993 with a Hotpoint Aquarius washer dryer. Again, I forget the model! (JON! I can’t help it! I didn’t note it down at the time, OK?! ;-) My friend was aware of my washer interest, as was his parents – none of them minded! LOL I’m still friends with him!)

I like the dial and buttons on those Hoovers, as well as those lights.

Glad your enjoyed your day, you two.

Regards,

Carl

Oooh! Looks like a cool washday!! Lovely machine too! So, have the doilies been washed too? ;-)

 

[washboy2005]

Ahh the good ol' Logic!

Ah I remember the days when my sister had her Logic, washed and rinsed amazingly, made awesome noises and coped with upto 4 loads a day(sister had a newborn).

She had this given to her by mums friend, this replaced a Servis Easi Wash 600 (haha only 600rpm spin) She then got the Logic 1100, when the door seal tore on the Logic and it flooded her kitchen she binned it, and got given yet another machine a Hotpoint WM53 1200 proper Hottie noises ;-). Unfortunatley the Hottie now resides in the back yard after 3 years faithful second hand service to my dear sister. The belt snapped and it was making a huge bang whilst ramping up, so it got booted out. She has now got a Zanussi FLA1101 1100 machine which is really quiet and works well.

Anyhoo I'm rambling on now, below is a picture in order of all the washer's my sisters had ;-P.

SORRY DARREN FOR HI-JACKING YOUR THREAD TEMPORARILY

 

[robm]

Thank Darren for your pics and washboy too.

I'm definately on the look out for a square door Hoover to purchase. I look at ebay all the time in my area. Unfortunately they are getting rarer and rarer. It would be great to get one from the early 80's but any period would do. I prefer the old style drum with fewer holes. There is just something about the older Hoovers I love.

Darren your Hoover looks cool inside the kitchen. i'm sure it would just nudge that AEG out the way if it could and regain its rightful place.

Now then where we're we. Ring ring, ring ring,

" The Boo-kay residence, the washerwoman of the .. err i mean the man of the house speaking". Turns away from phone and shouts to the kicthen where Jon and Darren are enjoying a Hobnob (the biscuit),

"oooh it's my brother Steven, you know the one with the Burburry Mercedes Benz, gold plated stop cocks and room for a large box of Bold"

"what's that??? Daddys lost his longjons in the Indesit?"

Horrible facial expression, runs and shuts kitchen door with foot returns to phone,

"now listen Steven, I will not have you mentioning that name on this hi fidelity light up 20 tune telephone. You know how people talk. Now you take Daddy straight down to Comet and purchase a shiny new Miele. I'll meet you at the house and we'll get the Indesit out of the kitchen and down to the tip, and I hope to god we don't bump into Mrs Barclay-Delorean !!

I'm hoping to impress her with my brilliant white hand painted with kisses boxer shorts that the Duke of Campingdon presented me with for services to the boy scout laundry team. Yes that's right, the ones with the laundry line we dance aound the old camp fire"

"Anyway, must go dear, Jon and Darren are waiting in the kitchen for me and the Hoovers about to do the conga on the parquet floor so we'd though we'd join in. Bye "

Forgive me
Steve

 

[chestermikeuk]

Priceless!!!

Steve, forgiven...never...LOL

 

[newwave1]

Steve:
I had bin contemplating moving the aeg out of its hole and puttin the hoover in as i wanted to see how nice it'd look between modern units...but it seemed too much like hardwork!

Rob: If you can get one then i highly recommend it! I love them! The sad thing is, not only are the hoovers getting rarer..But most of our cherished machines are...

Soon we will be gettin excited about bosches because they use more water than airless washing machines of the future *shudders* i am not lookin forward to future machines. Bring back the 80s n 90s.

Dan: I bet ur sisters house resembled a small river. I know my utility did! When i first got my hoover my parents got back and allowed me to keep it in the postion it stands now for a few days..anyway. Somehow....the hose worked its way out of the sink n flooded the utility with a rinse worth of water! I blame my mother for movin my strategically placed hose that hadnt moved the whole time i'd had it there. When i returned home from work the hoover was sat in the shed lol!

thanks for the replys guys.

Darren

 

[carlstock]

LOL @ Steve.

My Mrs Bucket sketch was not good enough! *Sobs* ;-)

 

[sparkcymru]
