Driving

I must say Im very proud, pleased and grateful to Paul who being the kind considerate and caring guy he is not to mention a fantastic boyfriend/partner whom I think the world of - got very stressed at the organisation and run up to the task of collecting our very first collection machine from Newcastle last week. All went well on the day of pick up but never again would I want him to drive so far for anything. Well unless it was purple then thats different LOL! I know Paul did it just as much if not more for himself though and I like to think of it that way aswell it certainly paid off with a fantastically immaculate machine. As for your journey 600 miles? Wow! I would never have that kind of patience I think. Rob
 
Driving

Hello Rob

I am glad you got that lovely Electron, well worth the drive.
the journey for me to Bolton from down here was a necessity, i dont relish driving long distances, i find them boring as hell, but driving is very much a part of life living down here, fortunately we are well connected with the rest of country via roads.
I did even consider driving up to Marks to collect the dryer but it would have been a two day event....plus having it collected by a courier was cheaper than i could have done it in terms of fuel ect.

Hotpoint twin-tub

Hi all

Rob and Paul congratulations on getting the Electron, it will be something to remember. It's always a fag getting these things but well worth it.

I am considering the 9504 as it is so close to me (Haywards Heath) but if anyone else wants it please let me know and I won't bid for it.

Wow my mothers first front loader the almond Hotpoint. The dishwasher looks like our first one too, although it had 2 dials, circa 1988.

Cheers Rob and Gary...

How do guys.
the drive was daunting to begin with, but I can safely say i really quite enjoyed it. Cold frosty morning, watching the sun rise, no rain, quiet roads all the way and a really atmospheric fog in the north east. took about 6 hours all in.

we are intending to plug in the machine tonight and see what is what. i/we will report back towards the end of the weekend.

that 9404 is immaculate Rob. That is the first thing i noticed when i came accross it. As far as me and my Rob are concerned, you should go for it! Good luck from us.

cheers
Paul
 
We had the later version of the Super Plus dishwasher. It is the reason i'm getting a Bosch dishwasher on tuesday!

Always used "Super Wash" on it. Had to click it on past 2 on the dial because the pre wash finished exactly on the 2. Ah the memories!

We had the Electra dryer before we bought the Zanussi we have the now. Its a good wee dryer. Only from about 1995 although the design of the machine is probably from 1975 hehe.

Cost

I was thinking about how much these machines cost. Does anyone know how much £100 was in 1971 and what it would equate to now? My partner was saying that he rented a room in Earls Court for £5 a week then and that seemed a lot. So £100 must have been around £800 in today's money I'm guessing??
