Hey Guys!
Myself and jon spent this afternoon at his house did a load in his miele and i invited him back to my place.

I orginially decided we would do a load in my AEG.

However an idea popped into my head. My parents are away, usually i either bring one of my machines in from the cold or get a new one. Well paydays not until Friday...so i brought my Hoover indoors for a little wednesday evenin tumble. lol.

We've already done one load of towels and have another on as we speak. I've also got sheets and darks to do. I've included a pic of it stood by my AEG..which is now redundate for a week or two.

I will include a video later. Hope you guys like it!

Darren

P.S I've named the pic "New school VS Old School!" lol!

A very "Bold" choice it was Darren, to move the Logic indoors! What's more I can't even hear it churning away whilst I'm sat up here hijacking your computer :-).

Jon

(who will soon be going back down to enjoy a waft of Bold Ocean Clear liquid along with a Wednesday Evening Tumble)

I'm being made to reply here again by our dearest Darren... so here I am!

Mike - how cheeky of you to insinuate that I shall be boilwashing his trainers! :-P. We've been doing 3 Fast Coloureds loads and now got a load of darks on Delicates as we speak :-). All in Bold Ocean Clear liquid for that pure vintage smell!

And of course, there's no need to use fabric conditioner with good ol' Bold :-).

Jon

(Consequently, for those fearing the rinse results with Bold, Darren and I can reassure all that all the final rinses have been as clear as rain. I would say as clear as a muddy puddle but I'd get a slap for that from Darrenski).

The Bouquet blokes turn away from the phone:

Hi, Darren and Jon! :-)

I’ve not even responded properly to your posts yet! :-)

One of my friends down here had a Hoover Logic washer dryer. I can’t remember the model – sorry! – but I know it had a darkish grey front panel and looked just like the one in your photos. It was replaced in about 1993 with a Hotpoint Aquarius washer dryer. Again, I forget the model! (JON! I can’t help it! I didn’t note it down at the time, OK?! ;-) My friend was aware of my washer interest, as was his parents – none of them minded! LOL I’m still friends with him!)

I like the dial and buttons on those Hoovers, as well as those lights. :-)

Glad your enjoyed your day, you two. :-)

Regards,

Carl

Ahh the good ol' Logic!

Ah I remember the days when my sister had her Logic, washed and rinsed amazingly, made awesome noises and coped with upto 4 loads a day(sister had a newborn).

She had this given to her by mums friend, this replaced a Servis Easi Wash 600 (haha only 600rpm spin) She then got the Logic 1100, when the door seal tore on the Logic and it flooded her kitchen she binned it, and got given yet another machine a Hotpoint WM53 1200 proper Hottie noises ;-). Unfortunatley the Hottie now resides in the back yard after 3 years faithful second hand service to my dear sister. The belt snapped and it was making a huge bang whilst ramping up, so it got booted out. She has now got a Zanussi FLA1101 1100 machine which is really quiet and works well.

Anyhoo I'm rambling on now, below is a picture in order of all the washer's my sisters had ;-P.

SORRY DARREN FOR HI-JACKING YOUR THREAD TEMPORARILY :-p

Thank Darren for your pics and washboy too.

I'm definately on the look out for a square door Hoover to purchase. I look at ebay all the time in my area. Unfortunately they are getting rarer and rarer. It would be great to get one from the early 80's but any period would do. I prefer the old style drum with fewer holes. There is just something about the older Hoovers I love.

Rob

Darren your Hoover looks cool inside the kitchen. i'm sure it would just nudge that AEG out the way if it could and regain its rightful place.

Now then where we're we. Ring ring, ring ring,

" The Boo-kay residence, the washerwoman of the .. err i mean the man of the house speaking". Turns away from phone and shouts to the kicthen where Jon and Darren are enjoying a Hobnob (the biscuit),

"oooh it's my brother Steven, you know the one with the Burburry Mercedes Benz, gold plated stop cocks and room for a large box of Bold"

"what's that??? Daddys lost his longjons in the Indesit?"

Horrible facial expression, runs and shuts kitchen door with foot returns to phone,

"now listen Steven, I will not have you mentioning that name on this hi fidelity light up 20 tune telephone. You know how people talk. Now you take Daddy straight down to Comet and purchase a shiny new Miele. I'll meet you at the house and we'll get the Indesit out of the kitchen and down to the tip, and I hope to god we don't bump into Mrs Barclay-Delorean !!

I'm hoping to impress her with my brilliant white hand painted with kisses boxer shorts that the Duke of Campingdon presented me with for services to the boy scout laundry team. Yes that's right, the ones with the laundry line we dance aound the old camp fire"

"Anyway, must go dear, Jon and Darren are waiting in the kitchen for me and the Hoovers about to do the conga on the parquet floor so we'd though we'd join in. Bye "

Forgive me
Steve

Steve:
I had bin contemplating moving the aeg out of its hole and puttin the hoover in as i wanted to see how nice it'd look between modern units...but it seemed too much like hardwork!

Rob: If you can get one then i highly recommend it! I love them! The sad thing is, not only are the hoovers getting rarer..But most of our cherished machines are...

Soon we will be gettin excited about bosches because they use more water than airless washing machines of the future *shudders* i am not lookin forward to future machines. Bring back the 80s n 90s.

Dan: I bet ur sisters house resembled a small river. I know my utility did! When i first got my hoover my parents got back and allowed me to keep it in the postion it stands now for a few days..anyway. Somehow....the hose worked its way out of the sink n flooded the utility with a rinse worth of water! I blame my mother for movin my strategically placed hose that hadnt moved the whole time i'd had it there. When i returned home from work the hoover was sat in the shed lol!

thanks for the replys guys.

Darren

(Telephone rings twice)

“The Stoock-ay residence. The lady… I mean, man… of the house speaking. Oh, it’s you, Steve. It’s Steve from Discuss-O-Mat. Oh, hang on… I have a call waiting [this service was not available in the UK until later in the series]… It’s Jon… Hello, Jon! Excuse me? Would do you mean, ‘When are you getting the Miele dryer’? I shall be soon, I believe, my dear. Oh, there’s another call – please hold… It’s Darren… Hello, Darren! And how are you today, dear? Fine? Lip ring?!”

Mrs Carlacinth Stock-ay makes all manner of facial expressions, putting the telephone on his side, running backwards and forwards.

“Now listen, dear Darren. I must insist that you take that lip ring out this instance! Whatever will the neighbours say, dear? You don’t care, you say? Why not, dear? What’s up? You hate Comet? We all hate Comet, dear – it’s just a terrible place to shop, too. I never buy anything from there. You’re doing what, dear? Playing with your washer-----?”

Mrs Carlacinth Stoock-ay gets tangled up in the telephone cord, aghast at Darren’s antics.

“Now look, Darren – you must get out of this phase of playing with yourself. It cannot be healthy. Could you not partake in some other, more wholesome, activities, hmmm…? You don’t what, dear? You don’t like washers that do not rinse properly today? Now listen – get a Miele… I have one. I wouldn’t be without it at my candlelight suppers. Granted, it does not have the obligatory drum light like Jonathan’s at his Miele drum light suppers, but it suits me fine, dear. Hmm…? You what, dear…”

The doorbell rings. Carlacinth pops his head through the net curtains to discover a Hotpoint Service van outside.

“Um… ah… Oh no – I cannot let anyone see I have a Hotpoint vehicle outside for my Indesit-based Hotpoint dishwasher… Oh, um…”

Rushing back into the hall, Carlacinth opens the door and bundles the engineer into the hall, removing his shoes in the process.

“Now, dear – I would ask that you repair my dishwasher post-haste. I am expecting company at any minute…”

Doorbell goes again. At the door, Carlacinth finds Nick Wilson.

“Bonjour, Monsieur Wilson! Welcome! Do come in… I have a cup of coffee waiting in my Royal Doulton set.” Nick is decidedly apprehensive, looking up at the ceiling in horror.

Carlacinth hears something outside. After investigating by walking on to the driveway, he spots Nick Stubbs running up the road with an oversized chef’s novelty hat on, complete with Tesco uniform and a frying pan in hand and an bottle of Comfort Pure:

“Carl! I’ve managed to see you! I’m coming round now!”

(Cue roaring canned laughter)

Aghast, Carlacinth runs back into the house, turfing Nick Wilson out the back door.

“But! But! I’ve only just arrived! I wanted to see your Miele. I won’t be able to come round until after Christmas now,” says Nick W. “I can’t help that, dear! Goodbye! See you another time!”

Nick W is appalled but leaves quietly. However, his shoes are still indoors. The back door opens again, and Carlacinth hands the shoes back to Nick W, with Carlacinth miming the French national anthem. Nick holds his head in his hands, completely bewildered.

Nick Stubbs arrived at the front door, frying pain in hand.

“Carl! I’ve discovered the delights of cooking with Comfort! It’s delicious – and I only vomit once after eating it!” says Nick.

Nick S is bundled into the Calacinth’s house, but his oversized chef’s hat gets caught in the door. Nick S then runs into the kitchen, drops his frying pan and proceeds to harass the Miele washer.

Completely astonished at the scale of the disastrous situation facing him, and with the telephone still connected to Darren, Carlacinth panics and finds a youngster at the door.

“Dan! Err… How nice to see you! Now, wash your hands, dear, before you come in, and don’t touch my wallpaper on the way.”

Utter chaos ensues, with Darren still on the telephone saying, “Hello?! Hello?! I’m waiting! This is taking longer than a Bosch on boilwash cottons!” Also, with the others put on hold, Carlacinth is traumatised.

Carlacinth then says: “Whatever will the Barker-Finches make of this? Never again will I be able to stage my renowned candlelight suppers. That Jonathan Scatliffe will take my place with his Miele drum light suppers instead.”

The End.

(Cue canned clapping, credits and theme tune)

----------

Now, I suspect that most of you will never speak to me again because:

(a) I sound as if I am on something;
(b) I sound as if I am drunk;
(c) I sound as if I am mad.

I’ve none of those! :-)

Carl :-)

Episode 2 of Carlacinth’s Keeping Up Appearances

“The Stook-ay residence. The ladyman of the house speaking. Oh, it’s you, Matt!”

(Turns away from phone)

“It’s Matt for Orstraliar! You know… The one with… um… a Whirlpool… No – not that kind of Whirlpool – the washing machine kind. Yes – that’s it. American.”

(Turns back to Matt on phone)

“Matt, hmm…? What was that? You don’t like what…? The Queen?-----”

(Carlacinth turns away from the phone in horror)

“Now look here, Matt. I know you are not fond of the Queen-----”

(Matt is heard expressing his opinion of the Queen)

“Now listen, dear. The Queen is your Head of State, too-----”

(Matt steps up his views on the Queen, switching his Whirlpool to spin in order to block out Carlacinth’s voice)

“OK, dear. We’ll just leave it at that. I can see the negative side of a Royal Family in this day and age, as well as effectively sharing one with another country. How is your washer, dear?”

(Out of the blue, a boomerang comes flying through the door, knocking Carlacinth out cold)

“G’day,” says Matt. “I just thought I’d send you a boomerang from here. See you later!”

(Matt then has a barbeque. Like all Australians do apparently. Every five minutes. ;-))

;-)
