Hey Guys..
Well seeing that I have been signed off work for a week, due to a bad back, not great timing as i am having a new kitchen installed, but hey.. I thought what better time to have a quick quiz to test the old brain cells...Lets see what has been retained over the years. 1. What year did Hotpoint introduce their 1st front loading automatic (1600) ? 2. Which company used the line in their advert “Washday Childs Play” ? 3. What machine quoted to be “Years ahead of its time” ? 4. What year did Parnall introduce the MK2 Spinwasher ? 5. “Waltz through washday” was written by ..... ..... & for which manufacture ? 6. What was lent to housework by Hotpoint in the 50’s ? 7. Make a Bee-Line for who...? 8. The Hotpoint Empress was first introduced in 30’s, but what was its distinctive feature ? 9. Who in the early 1950’s had to revert back to a four legged washing machine due to the national steel shortage ? 10. What was the colour of the “Filter clean” tray on the Hotpoint Supermatic 1420 ? 11. “Choose your programme, anyone of eight” was used in the TV advert for what machine ? 12. Who used a Mexican cartoon figure as a focal point in selling their washers..? 13. What machine had “live water” action ? 14. Who produced a washer called the “Balmoral” ? 15.
