the ascot did stinks my gran had one over the bath. its a wonder she never blew the roof off. when the gas went out and she put a tanner in she would light it again and wow what a BANG!The electric water heater reminds me of gas Ascott water heaters. Caused many fatalities and eventually resulted in legislation and CORGI. Viv.

And you can still buy those. That one has the right design screw! The point goes straight down so that you cart the opening process properly. That’s a big deal when your opening many bottle with arthritis in you hands
Yes we did form the cold tapdid you fill it with a hose plugged on the tap we did
Janice, we still have them here. They come with a couple of style brushes(fluffers) and extensions for the pole.Change of gadget. Well more of a tool. Does anyone else use a "cobweb" brush round the ceilings and corners?
I use my Gran's brush and as she died in 1969 it must be over 60 years old. I suspect it was a Betterwear buy (remember them?).
Just in case anyone can't remember.
We have two food processors, a large one over 30 years old when our children were with us. My wife purchased a smaller one about size that she uses when its just the two of us.I still use my little spin-dryer as well as the washing machine, it gets far more water out than the machine.
Mom had a "Flatley" heated airer/dryer, it wasn't very successful. I have a food processor but it takes so much cleaning out afterwards that it lives in the shed, I've just realised it's over 30 years old!

Ohh! cakes and home made. Pity I am too far away for an inivite for tea!I wore out my 30+ year old one. Bought a new one but only tend to use it for pastry. (As Rosie said fiddly to clean and dry). I make lots of cakes but all by hand.
I also have a mini blender which I use to make burgers (yes, I make my own lol) or meatballs.

As a matter of interest, what was the best thing before sliced bread?did anyone have one of these....our mom thought it was the best thing since sliced bread...the one we had was slightly different...ours had a rubber ended attachment that you just pushed onto the tap..turned the tap on and away it went...of course we can still buy them but they are now electric...great idea for those suffering with arthritic hands

That’s better than almost anything! Especially if you add some butter, cheddar cheese and onion!A great crusty cob, that was and is much better than sliced bread.
I must say you fellows have excellent tasteThat’s better than almost anything! Especially if you add some butter, cheddar cheese and onion!
We had the potato peeler like Lyn’s. From memory we only ever used it for small or salad potatoes. Not for really big potatoes. Viv.
