Thankyou for an amazing weekend, really made a little dream come true spending a weekend with great washers and great people!
Couldn't fault any part of it it was simply wonderful. Was not very happy heading back on the train away from it all. Certainly given me a decent incentive to come back and visit again :-) I would like to thank John and everyone for making me very welcome and being fantastic hosts :-) Till Next Time Matty xxx |

Sounds like a good time was had by all. Drive is one of my fave Aussie detergents, too. Matty converted me to a fan of liquid Dynamo w/phosphate recently, as well.
Jason, I don't remember about Drive specifically, but several Aussie powders with phosphates also list zeolites in the ingredients. They don't generally have a huge amount of phosphate, anyway, and probably needed something extra for softening. |

Hi Matt, glad you got back to Sheffield okay, a great weekend, and have a good floght home monday!!
Chris, The Penkerage Bagwash only operates on 60d +, rubber gloves and / or tongs are a requirement, and yes the aroma of steamy hot washes waft all through the place.. Jacob, yes the OMO was used in the Hoover 964 Vision and I used one micro scoop and it did foam considerably and yes the scent is rather fresh and pleasant.. Jason, will have to check the boxes and let you know...I liked the DRIVE the best and it provided a white wash liquor with very little sudzing, had great cleaning power and the first rinse was virtually clear, which is how it should be!! Tim, do you use the Drive in a top loader or front loader?? and how many scoops?? Supersuds, Matty used the Dynamo Liquid in the Servis Twinny and it smelled rather retro....and cleaned great.. Mike, yes rather a lot there, when its on offer we buy it, and I get free samples for testing....yes a twintub without an Agi, well its like a ocean with no water!! and we pulled out the Servis Powerglide (the Galaxy maker) and used the boil wash water from the Keymatic, then washed all the tea towels & cleaning cloths.. |

The Servis Supertwin 110, this machine was my grandmothers machine during a lot of my childhood, it was great to re-live a few familiar sounds and sights with it :-)
Here it is churning away at some sheets in Australian Dynamo with its superior wash action *ducks and runs from the Oovahmatic lovers* |

Kevin I think the same thing every time I see one of their fantastic gatherings. We really need to plan this at some point and do it.

Hi Guys,
Just like to say a BIG Thankyou to you all for attending my birthday weekend bash wash-in ! Hosted by myself and Chestermike (AKA Servis Sooze )! We all had so much fun, as usual, with old faces and new. A special welcome to Matt all the way from Aussieland All we seem to do is Wash, laugh, eat, drink, sleep, Wash, laugh, eat, drink, sleep, Wash, laugh, eat, drink, sleep !!! Hi to Terry and Kevin from the states x Terry I believe we have exchanged e-mails in the past ? Of course, as always in this house Oovah was the star of the show. The Servis Supertwin 110 packed up and tripped the elecs whilst rinsing the first load ! Hence the "Skirt" being off" (duck from Sooze) Yet again "Hoover did Handle it" This banter is great !!!! Terry & Kevin, Matt travelled about 12,000 miles ! The States should be a quick hop across the pond lol Anyway enough for now, Love to all, John x |

Oh, sorry. I've never heard of Sport and never tried the powder. The Wisk smell I'm thinking of was the standard Wisk liquid at the end of the Unilever ownership a couple of years back.There's a family connection in scent if not formula.
I've had a quick smell of the Sun version on shelves now and it seemed about the same. |
