All that remains is for me to wash the poppy dogs lost favourite pheasant (found by me and Al whilst we sat on the pond having an earling morning cuppa...feeling like two uncles while the young uns where still in bed)!!!
And, say a great big thanks to all who have attended here over the years, to all those who couldnt make it this time, we missed you...John, Ray, Gary, Mathew, Seamus & Matt.... Looking forward to seeing you all in another place... Bye, Mike

Glad to see everyone had a good time, love the pics of the old/vintage machines as well as the v zug etc. Love all the machines and also the pictures of Jack (vintagehoover) with the dyson and other vacuum cleaners too :) Hope the move goes well and all machines arrive safe and well and get settled into their new home :) Thanks | ||

Looks like everyone had an awesome time!
I'm currently in the USA at the moment but living at a camp without washers and dryers so its boring handwashing all the way!! (dislike) Its sad the old UK wash in place is going into retirement for a little while. I am planning on spending christmas and new year in my home town of sheffield as i am missing a good old English Christmas, i was going to be cheeky and ask to come and meet everyone if possible :-) Good Luck With The Move Matt x | ||

Thanks for all the great pictures. Sure is great to put faces with names! Good luck with the move.
Matthew, where abouts in the US are you? Maybe if you're close enough to one if us, we can help you get your laundry 'fix'... If you were close enough to me, I'd think about bringing the 57 Maytag wringer. Talk about camp laundry done right... RCD | ||

And its not just washers
but vacuum cleaners too. Members on Vacuumland will have already seen pics of my Morphy Richards, but here is just a quick look at what Bob and Neil did for me. I still owe them big time for the thought and care they devoted on restoring a very sad looking machine - which was not even theirs! Not only does it look good, it runs quiet and smooth as well

The last round up
It was a little sad that it would be the last wash-in at Mikes, but I know his next venue will be even better than the old one. It may not be immediatly apparant from the pics at the begninning of the thread how the washers and driers are, as far as possible, matched sets. And that is only a part of the collection :)
It was a shame some of the old familiar faces were not able to make it this time, so the guys had to make do with my old, and sadly far too familiar, face instead. But here's to the next time lads :) Matt, if you are in the UK at the end of the year, there will be a "washer welcome" for you - most of the collectors are in the Midlands so close to Sheffield, or if you want a trip down south there are other collectors down here too, who would also be pleased to welcome you :) Al | ||

Moving
Hey Leon, good to hear from you, yes am moving, everything is going into storage for the interim, whilst I work out what to do next, bigger display space/ museum space etc!!
Am excited for the next stage of life just slightly daunted by moving all those machines, one way though, front loaders & stacked dryers are easier to move than TL`s IMHO, so dont envy you!!!...LOl Are you moving far?? | ||

RCD Andrew, my pleasure, glad you enjoyed the pics, its a thing with me doing names, I hate not knowing who people are in the pics!!!..LOl Robert, yes and look where you are now, I need to be sorted that quick...Oh where`s the magic wand & broomstick, any tips appreciated!!!...LOl Brandon, yes at least I can stack the dryers and although bulkey, they are lighter to move, I worked out all the washers & dryers stacked will fill a 40ft container wall in one go...twinnies will go on the other wall under a worktop with the small tubs/dryer & vacs on top...thats the theory anyway!!

Paul, will get to catch up one day, hopefully not long!!! Al, yes we staggered out way from table to washer, all good fun, and greateful for the help, (Al`s another Terry, stuff just happens, makes the cakes & food, he knows where everything is and is happy to get on with it) Sorry Jack, couldnt resist that!!! Oh that building, how many times have we been past it, all that history inside it, if only we win the lottery tonight!! Jon, was good to see you in action with the twinnys, and blast, I didnt take a pic of your AEG Lavamat 620 which you brought over...did anyone else..Al, Paul?? It was great to catch up with you on thursday on your own turf as well, just putting the Dixan through its paces in the Zug!!!Ta.. Jon & Matt arrived friday, we set Jon`s AEG up and I`d done a curry & rice with nibbles so we just pulled up three chairs, sat in front of it and "Watched the WasherTelly" all night!! Matt, great to finally meet you, (now what accent was that...LOL..just kidding) I hope you got a sense of how the machines worked after all the laughter & food...& that little joke of exclusive washing powder for the Zug indeedy!! | ||

Highly strung..Moi!!!
Oh Gary I choked when I saw that, me poor carpet and me AldiLiddle cornflakes, "Worra pile of old s****t"!!!lol .....Nowthen go and post the other one you did...go on the`re not back till next week!!!
Kelly, glad you enjoyed the pics, the house does lend itself to parties, if its not the appliance guys its my large family with the kids on sleepovers, and then the neighbours all think its a safe haven and "Adult Downtime Space" which is great...The trifle was an old recipe made by Bob & Neil, like a traditional xmas trifle, bodouir fingers, strawberries soaked in sherry, strawberry pink blancmange, layer of custard, & whipped cream dotted with white malteasers & strawberries..lovely Melvin, the coloured tubs belonged to the Titan washing machine, launched early 2000, to compete with dyson as the first of larger machines, but had a few problems and as it was privately owned didnt make it to maket, although it has been launched abroad recently, the unique feature was the inner drum could be removed to "walk around the house, fill it up and then go to machine, or take it to the line etc after... the colours are Orange, Green & blue, Whites , Lights & Darks...it heated and pumped wash solution through the baffles at high pressure like a shower...

Steve, yep a grand crew, and lots more of them about, just difficult to get everyone together etc...I wonder what you`d make of it, all those front loaders, twinnys & powders...one day perhaps!! Richard, glad you enjoyed it as ever, I was very thankful for all the flicking of covers you did, Flick,Flick, covering all those machines at short notice due to the downpour...didnt dampen the spirits though, hey didnt you take a pic of the Maytags after cleaning...LOL...they do need a renovation and overhaul, but worked superbly, very quiet etc...heres the Hotpoint Liberator 1509/10 back from workshop & spa...lovely

Mikes Orders
MIKE
As you have ordered me to show THE PICTURE I shall, but let it be known that it was you who insisted i show it. AL That Electrolux cleaner is absolutely beautiful, the design is so elegant, it was i would say worth every penny and effort to bring it back, a wondeful machine. MIKE Those Hotpoint toploaders are as you know my favourite Hotpoint machines and again like Al, the effort is sooo worth it when they come back from Marks looking and working so well, so well done, a set of machines to be proud of. MAYTAGS It is great to see fots of those lovely machines, again the styling is brilliant but of course in the internal shots show the very sturdy build qaulity, very nice. JACK Well Jack how you describe yourself is not how I remember you, drink in hand, ciggy in the other, having a bit of dance, big smile on your face........but you are of course right to expect premium qaulity breakfast foods. THE PICTURE This is the only other candid picture taken that I know of.................. Gary

Nice Maytag; my childhood washer. Looks like it has not seen too much use in its time, as the print on the buttons and dial is not faded. Imagine seeing one of those across the pond. Cool. Have a good one, James | ||

Good Luck
Hi Mike sorry i couldnt make the farewell do, i know how stressful and emotional moving can be. Just a warning if you are putting machines in storage, in 1991 my parents put everything into storage including their 1989 polar white hotpoint 9544, 6 month later when we finally moved home it came back dark nicotine yellow, we thought it had perhaps been covered in an oily rag etc,but it seems that keeping it in the dark (ie a container) causes white plastic to yellow. It has slowly lightened to a creamy white as it now sits in a utility room with a window. Its now 21 and still going strong as my Mams daily washer , a little battered looking but sounds a quiet (or Noisy) as it did in 1989. So watch out for any of the white plastic models you have , if its going to be a time in storage.
I normally get the job of plumbing in the washer /dishwasher in after a house move for friends but me thinks you wont need that help or have lots of friends who can do the same, but the offers there! Richard | ||
