Just came across this great picture, just had to post it on here. Not sure but i think it's a Candy washer & a Philips dryer.

It does not look like a HP Iced Diamond to me, I would have said the door trims were chrome rather than white. The cooker is somewhat unusual for here too, not unknown (single oven, "second oven" is cupboard for gas bottle), but unusual. But that style of cupboard is not one that I have ever seen here before. Shame their are not some sockets in view. That looks like a water heater over the sink.
The WM might be an earlier model. The programme selector was somewhat larger than usual with no "bar" across it to select the cycle but rather it was moulded with raised areas on the top that allowed you to rotate the dial. There were a couple of oblong push switches on the front and I think door release too (looked like a switch) if I remember right. Pretty BOL in late 1970s, I had one for a few months in 1990 Al |

The second picture does give a better view of that washer and I would agree its seems to be a Candy later than I previously thought. Although from that era and series I don't think the dryer is a D163 (I have one) as it appears to have at least two knobs on the control panel - I think there was a version with a delay timer if my memory is right. Where is the picture supposed to be taken, the kitchen does not look British to me. And I don't think the FF was Zanussi branded either, it does not look like a Zanussi I have ever seen

Was there an earthquake or some other disaster? |

Its definitely not the UK thats for sure. Under the sink is a bottle of either 'Dron' liquid - or 'Dreft' both european trade names for what we know as Fairy liquid here and thats a rather 90s bottle of the lemon flavoured stuff.
Only way I suspect of knowing which country its taken in is to identify if that is Dron or Dreft and figure it out from there |
