They include the 1978 Liberator dishwasher, Hoover small appliances, some more modern pics and some more pics of my own machines.

I see I clearly wasn't the only person who used to go wandering around the electrical appliances department in Allders in Croydon

Thanks again

Thanks again for your comment. Thanks for your pics Richard and Seamus, it's always good to see who you are talking to.

Darren - My friend from school had that Electrolux. Inside it was identical to a Zanussi. Sounded and washed the same. It had a very quiet induction motor the only problem was it did rattle a bit on spin, the stability could have been better. I loved the look though.

Washboy - Those late 80's Indesits were good basic machines for the price. Shrieked a bit on spin but had large drums and were easy to use.

Dascot - So you used to live in Croydon? (South London suburb to those of you who may not know). It does have a good washer dept still fortunately. Your comment has given me an idea for a thread.

Thanks all

Rob

Hi Rob,

I grew up not far from Croydon, and it was a good place to go shopping. I used to prefer Croydon to Crawley anyway.

Apparently, though I don't remember this as I was pretty small at the time, I once went shopping with parents and grandparents and they made the mistake of taking me through the electrical department in Allders. They had a working display and I sat on the floor and refused to go with them. Think it gave my gran an excuse for a sit down and rest, and my parents an excuse to go running off shopping without me tagging along

My msn address is in my profile if anyone wants to chat sometime
