This wasn't Santa Claus like you have at Christmas. This was Sinterklaas (St Nichola(u)s) who visits us from Spain and gives us gifts on December 5th. This figure originates from the legendary bishop of Mira in Turkey. Theo posted a picture of Sinterklaas a while ago in the Deluxe forum. Can't remember in which thread that was.
There are all kinds of punishments for naughty kids, you could get a little bag with salt instead of a gift. You could also get birched by Zwarte Piet (Black Pete) or in the worst case you would be taken in a sack with Sinterklaas to Spain. I would opt for the last option, but I guess I wasn't bad enough. LOL
~Think: twin-tub washer
Yes, we have H-axis twintubs too, this was more for the people who already had a separate spindryer and didn't want to spend extra money for another spinner in the twintub (yes, we Dutch are cheap!) or who didn't have the space for one of those twintubs which are quite big.
BTW, I'm sure you were nice too, Sinterklaas will probably listen to Gary. ;-)

*Private school* in the USA is *public school* in the UK.
"Santa Claus" is a corruption (er.... evolution) of the name "Saint Nicholas." I just assumed the same of "Sinterklaas". Perhpaps different evolution of a common-rooted myth/legend!

*LOL* I was threatened with private military school for misbehaving. Then I thought about it. All-boy boarding school? I BEGGED TO GO! I was the best at out-doing the parents with reverse psychology!
HAPPY HOLIDAYS Luigi, and thank you for posting this! It is always wonderful to see you post.

Very nice Louis, I am amazed how clean the outer tub became after a simple boil wash! Very cool find.
Yes Robert, boiling water and citric acid can do wonders. Above all I'm glad so much of the calcium build up on the heating element came off. I'm going to give my other washers the same treatment in the next weeks too.
