Love these machines and the styling, knew a lot of people with the matching dryers. I think I actualy prefer the electra grey than the creda brown. Matt |

States that all elecrical items brought into re-cyclicng centres are classed as waist and there for are not allowed to be sold on etc etc.
Thus ensuring that the supply to the second hand market for white goods shrinks and China get to sell more cheapo crap goods thus improving their economy and f..king ours even more ;-) BOLLOX TO ALL THAT! I SAVE THE ODD MACHINE.......and take it home and save it ;-) Gary |

No, all this sort of stuff in now locked and triple locked and he dose not have a key, nor will he ever have one. The motors on these run relay smooth and fairly quite, the speed module increases the speed gradually on all speeds. Should you keep it and require any of the parts I have I will box them up and send then to you. Can’t guarantee that they still work. Timer, thermostat, delay timer, pump and the motor has seized and the bloody dog, she had to try the taco wires for dinner. |

That made me chuckle matey, your tale of your dad chucking your beloved washer out will stay with me forever...........the feelings you must have had at the time...........phew!!!!!!! yah know when i was a lad (about 10/11 yrs old) i had constant fight with my parents to let me grow my hair long (just over my ears) coz it was what lads in the early 1970s did where i came from When ever i went to get it cut i would say to the barber not too much off leave it a bit longer, and every time i would come out of there with a short back and slap!..........i hated getting my hair cut for that.........and of course in later years i found out that my dad just used to ring his mate the barber and tell him to ignore anything i asked for and give me the standard hair cut no matter what..........Parents HUH making bloody decisions for yah :-( ROB Well i am amazed by condition........like you i think it is an elderly persons machine......if i get a chance this week i will try it out..........but i have a lot on this coming week and i am still fighting this flu...........plus a certain bloke from up your way is coming to collect it next weekend so I had better polish the silver and get out the posh dinner stuff :-) |

Gary, my dad also made me have my hair cut, and like you I wanted it longer but he would get granddad to shave it all off, number 2 all over.
Funny thing is in my twenties I went back to the crew cut look, when visiting one day he remarked, I didn’t do it, don’t blow my brains out governor, you look like a gangster. |
