Cuffs? Workboots? Oy vey, I have to keep up some sort of style! Alex, I wouldn't say the Meile is that great on washing. Use brand powder, even though I bawk at paying the price, stains have to be pre-treated, and to seperate loads into colours/fabrics ends up me having about five hours worth of washing. Lodger is terrible, he shoves EVERYTHING in together, although one load will be dark coloured and black and one load whites and light coloureds, but he does tend to ram in jeans with acrylic jumpers, grafted black socks with his horrid dark bath puff... I mean, sometimes I unload one of his washes and work trousers have one leg inside out and one leg the right way. Ugh!! With the twinny, any really stained whites I tend to put into cold or warm water with detergent (even cheapo powder works wonders) and leave it all to soak while the water is getting hot, leaving me to do some cleaning or pop to the shops. Not once have I had a bad result. Well, London wise, I have lived a few places, Pimlico, North Ken, but mainly north London, Stamford Hill, and Wood Green/Turnpike Lane. Not keen on south London. One of these days I will have to attend one of the UK "Wash-ins"... would be a laugh. Looked at some of your posts and I notice you would love to get your hands on a Hottie toploader... Me too!!!! American top loaders are too wide to fit in the space in my kitchen units, and its really a twin tub but automatic, if you see what I mean, although I would love to put in an English Electric agitator (which fit in the Hotpoint twin tubs) to give a good roll over, not keen on the spiralator agi. There was a vid on Youtube of a Hotpoint twin tub with an EE agitator init, can't remember who posted it. Ah well, soon I should have some vids up myself, and I need to get some vids done of the fantastic REX launderette washers that are in every launderette here in Hull. Great spin-drain, and super sloshy washing action, no messing with distribution before the spin either. Work time, laters!!!
