Well no foam party ensued, all clothing was suitably cleaned and after hanging out the washing, which was surprisingly damp not dripping out of the Bendix, the Three Wise Men bade a fond farewell to Lee and headed back down the A470 over a by now darkening mountain range, back to Cardiff to visit the Philips Toptwin...

Whilst over the top mountains and needing a pitstop it was a surprise to find the original Crossroads Launderama - well, what are three wise men to do after the day we`ve had!

After a good nights sleep and not driving off the bend on the mountain top...we proceded to view Mathews latest aquisition the Philips Toptwin twinny from the 1960`s, after checking the wiring and a PAT test.

The Philips TopTwin, nowthen, a few members have them I believe but ther are a number of special accessory kits which are most very rare!! Gary whilst tripping over an OOvah vac in a local charity shop went headfirst into a wicker basket and nearly concussed himself on the - Drum Roll, wait for it The Philips De-Lux Accessory Kit Number 3 box.
It was a gift from The Lady herself he thought and duly presented it to an overcome Mathew.

That Wig!
This is all nicely put together Mike so thanks are in order
it is a pity you couldn't show the Wig Wearing Philips Owner fighting with us to take it off.
the speed with which that wig went on was amazing and there it stayed all day, trouble came when we suggested it might be better to take it off as food was about to be cooked.................a struggle ensued and the wig was removed.......amidst a lot of swearing, shouting and tears which made eyeliner run.
Speaking of tears it was moving to see Lee,s eyes well up when he was handed the award for services to washing machines in distress
Altogether a fantastic weekend thanks to Mat, Lee and Mike

Love it!!
Looks like so much fun had by all--fantastic pics and story!
I *love* SNOB. I was a tad disappointed to see that they shan't honor the tiara offer outside of the UK. I think I'll pop over to my local import mart to pick up a box, seeing as I've just used my last cupful of All-Temperature Bitch.

Evening all
It was a most enjoyable weekend, I had a bit of a disaster before the chaps arrived on Saturday morning and found myself rodding a block drainage system, we cant have all the wash water running down the street can we.
I saved up lots of loads, (I think we washed one in the Liberator one in the Hoover 1100 and three in the Bendix) lots of good food and good conversation.
The day went by in a flash and the "Our Lady of the Boiling Pulstor" award was a big shock, (notice in the photo no one cares about my tearful stat, here have this we are watching the Bendix) thanks for my prezzies too chaps.
The SNOB preformed faultlessly, all stain free and rinsed clear on the first rinse with a pleasant sent, that 400 spin in combination with the SNOB gave great effortlessness of ironing, took two days to dry though.
Sundays visit to Cardiff was great too and also passed in a flash, the Philips top twin is a fantastic machine and should be seen in the flash to appreciate it fully.
We will do it again very soon.
