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! |

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). |

It’s “Bucket” anyway (pronounced “Boo-kay”), not “Bouquet”! ;-) |

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 |

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 |
