KwikSave
I remember KwikSave very well - infact our local KwikSave had wooden shelves! We also had a KwikSave Food Giant which was a bit like Costco selling food in bulk.
We also had a Fine Fayre but that's probably before your time, Tom

The Kwikies in town had been there since the 1970's, apparently it was one of the first stores to open and it remained there until Somerfield bought them in 1998 and the store became Somerfield for a time. Then sometime in the early 2000's the store changed back to a Kwik Save (hence why it was one of the newer look stores with yellow walls and non food sections) and Somerfield moved to another part of the town. When the store reopened as a KS, I recall we went along to the opening day and Chris Gascoyne (Peter Barlow from Corrie) was there and he gave me a balloon!
Interestingly, my hometown is also where Iceland originated from.
Liam - definitely look out for the Peony one, apparently it is really nice.

FINALLY!!!
Got some Green Bold, saw it in Tesco last night, so had to pick some up.
It was only in the Pearls; no powder or liquid - I so hope a powder comes along.
It smells ok, but it is hard to tell the true smell with Pods - will let you know once I have done a wash with them.
I had a look at the Lenor - Pearly Peony didn't jump out at me
I did smell the Black Lotus Parfumelle one though, it did seem a little milder.

Well..
Got one in now, it seems low sudsing, like the rest of the new line of Bold.
However, the scent seems a tad stronger than I remember Bold Pearls being; it's on a 60o wash now, and can smell the scent as soon as walk into the kitchen.

Tesco near me has had them a while but they don't jump out at me at all.
The new Lenor Ocean Escape is lovely though, smells really nice and milder than the previous version.

Didn't manage
To smell the Ocean one, will try that next time.
Well, the green bold wash is done, and it's not the same as the active fresh from years ago.
It's in that region though, and definitely has the "bold" smell about it - as to me, no matter which bold scent used, I can tell it's bold as they all have a similar underlying scent theme.
If they do a powder, will try it.

I've managed to sniff some of the new range today in Sainsbury's (because they've expanded their range and now I can get all my Ecover stuff!! 
)
And some of them are pleasant but the new summer breeze I'm a bit unsure about, does it smell different on washed clothes than it does in the bottle?
Also! I got a box of Fairy recently and it does smell different but it still smells perfectly lovely to me, very detergenty and clean. I did notice the ingredients composition has changed and so have the recommended doses, I'm wondering weather its also low sudsing now too?

Done a few more loads with Ocean Escape and it is rapidly becoming my favourite, it is so lovely, softens really well and smells fresh and clean without an overpowering cloying scent.
The Soft Embrace one smells clean, but it's from the pure care range so didn't get that one. Had a sniff of the new Moonlight Harmony and it is definitely different, has a clean undertone to it's fresh lavender and chamomile scent.
What does the Fairy smell like now aeg?

Comfort blue sky
Sorry to be a bore... the only conditioner I ever use is comfort blue sky...all the others are too overpowering for me personally, and in case of interest...Half price in Waitrose...£1.50 for 2 litres

Tried Bold powder today, the blue one and it really is good! The bedding has come out of the machine clean, stain free, white, soft and smelling really nice! The scent isn't overpowering either, just a light pleasant smell, even though I do have a cold. )

Did you use and fabric conditioner,or the Bold did itself all the softening job?

Hello, no I didn't use fabric conditioner as this Bold is the newer packaging one so I wanted to see how goo it is, and it has definitely improved from the last time I used it. The stuff I washed is indeed soft, it seems Bold has improved in that aspect.

Are you the guy on Youtube with the Hotpoint 18580 and the Zanussi FJDR1466W that you no longer own? His name is Nick Wilson and is called nickwilsonUK. Which Hotpoint Ultima in 2004 did you own as I was wondering for months and did it do powerstream and have the Powerstream feature or the induction Super Silent motor and was it a Super Silent Ultima and could you describe it to me. I've been guessing and I'm probably guessing which model number it was?

Hello, Janak.
Goodness, I had completely forgotten about those `YouTube' videos!
I'm really sorry but I can't remember the model of Hotpoint. I bought a washer and dishwasher in the same colour and both were a complete shambles! The washer was so violent on spin that sparks flew off the door glass as the drum hit it, and the dishwasher blew all the electrics! I don't think I had either for longer than a few months. The Hotpoint did have an induction motor. I think it was a 1600 spin. I don't think it had a jetsystem type thingeee? I think the colour was Satin Aluminium? Basically a kind of Matt Silver. Very fetching to look at, but honestly a POS.
Replaced with Zanussi (both) - tbh the dishwasher wasn't much better and after only two years was washing in cold as heater went. Hooked up to the hot line instead, which worked OK in the short term. However the Zanussi washer I must say was really good.
I'm really sorry I can't remember the model of the Hotpoint.
Sorry to everyone else for going off topic too.

Model
Nick I'm guessing it is a WMM75 or a WF865. Which one out of those 2 was it? Was it the one on the left or the one on the right?
