welcome
Well I would say the majority of us congregate here.
Why do you ask?
Interested in machines yourself?

I have always been interested in old appliances, I grew up in New Zealand, some of the appliances at that time were imported from the UK. I have always thought it would be interesting to meet people that are interested in old appliances. It seems there are groups that get together in the US and view various collections of old appliances, perhaps there is this sort of thing in the UK.

As Rob says above a fair number (although not all) hang out here or perhaps over in vacuumland (link on the AW homepage). And I think it is fair to say that we are scattered from one end of the UK to the other.
Check out the threads here, in "Deluxe" and "Super" (and dont forget the search facility on the top right of every forum) and you will find lots of British stuff. And dont be afraid to ask, there is a large fund of collective knowledge here

Hi Whiteway
You'll find most information about UK appliances here. Do a search for AEI Hotpoint or AEI Gala and you might recognise the 1500 series washer - it was licensed to Fisher & Paykel in the 1960s by AEI (Hotpoint's parent company - NZ machines will have AEI Gala on the rating plate), and sold as Kelvinator and Savaday over there - possibly as Whiteway too IIRC...enjoy!

OLD F&P, same as UK Hotpoint TL
This is a New Zealand model, it was based on the UK Hotpoint top loader design. There are several examples of this model and similar machines on NZ website www.trademe.co.nz This is not mine, I just stumbled on the ad whilst looking for something else (which I haven't found yet...) Chris...

This thread and forum are an interesting read, I'm from the UK too! I need some old appliances, any advice on obtaining them? I can get old TV's and audio equipment no problem, but washers and driers seem to be pretty hard to come by... advice appreciated ^.^
