This is a bit more like it

Original 1970s kitchen of good quality when installed. The width of that oven housing say only one thing - Moffat. Sadly long gone it would appear. Actually in the first picture you can just see the edge of the Moffat oven which would date this to about 1974/76. I have long wanted one of those Moffat ovens - since about 1974 actually

I was getting very excited when I spotted what I thought was a Hoover 3110 washing machine in the first picture but upon closer examination I think it was an estate agent's (realtor's) picture as all the appliances seem to have been replaced save the AEG fridge, and the rather magnificent hood seems to have gone too.

NIB 1970s Bex Bissell

My parents had one of these back in the 1970s although they had been around since the late 1950s or so. I think we have better carpet cleaning options today LOLOL

And here is a little reminder of those of us of "a certain age". I clearly remember this advert from my child hood. It is interesting in that it uses what I might call the "Persil technique" (is was used in several of their advertisements) in that criticism is conveyed not by words but by a look or a frown from one woman to another but picked up by the other woman. The look that says "you have a dirty house/laundry"

Thanks for posting that. Actually it's still no proof of that these were sold this way in the UK, it could have been bought in the NL and later moved to the UK. I still could be wrong ;-)

Talk about Creda cookers, yesterday afternoon in Escape to the country one appeared in the second house. Or perhaps a different brand, but it was a similar stove to the ones you posted here.

Thanks to BBC iPlayer I was able to quickly check back. Actually there were two cookers of the type I normally post here - one in the second (small) house and one in the smaller part of the double holiday let.

They are both Tricity Tiaras and are the BOL versions of the Contessa models posted in reply 28 & 29. The first one could actually be contemporary with the one shown in reply 28 - the Tiara was launched in something around 1975 and they were in the halls of residence communal student kitchens when I went to college in September 1976. No timer, no double control ring, and no second oven combined with the grill, even the control panel and knobs were cheaper. This model continued for very many years unchanged, the second is a somewhat later model with slightly different knobs and even more BOL in that it only has three rings instead of four.

PS my goodness how handsome Alistair Appleton looked with the beard.
