Hey gang, many of you know last week I posted The History of Hoover in Merthyr. 

 I knew many of you couldn't get access to BBC iplayer (due to different region's) and I've managed to get hold of these programme's. For those of you who might of missed the shows, here's your chance to catch up lol...  

 

Recently the BBC have done a programme on "Business Nightmare's" presented by Evan Davis.The first clip is the story of how Persil launched a detergent so powerful that tests showed it shredded consumers clothes. 


There's two more clips I yet to add, but there in the middle of being processed. They are:

 

"Business Nightmare's" which is about the Hoover free flight scandal.

 

"Red Letter Day - Hoover" is a half an hour documentary, based on the rise & fall of Hoover, and how the free flight scandal lead Hoover to closure.  

 

Enjoy folks - Peace!

I'd hate to think they're going to make the same mistake againe with OMO Ultimate...

...which apparently has more stain-busting and whitening ingredients that OMO (which is actually the best performing detergent anyway)

Damaged Goods

lol you may aswell put bleach on your whites, then again leaving your clothes in bleach for a while could damage them. The wonders of big company's hey. Can't believe a company like Persil got it so wrong.
