  1. ...and a big tub of soapflakes.

    My mum had a Hotpoint Twintub, with rubber pipes that connected to the taps. And some wooden tongs.

    We've got a Bosch Exxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxcel.

    I remember dangling the rubber pipe into the twin tub spin dryer when you lifted the lid it carried on spinning until it slowly came to a halt, it grabbed the pipe and twisted it to about a foot long nearly ripping my arm off in the process :confused:
    Health and safety hadn't been invented then , thankfully, we just learnt not to be so stupid next time:D

    We had a twin tub new when we got married. It was a hot point on Rick from the co op.

    You try telling the kids that..,

    My mum thrashed me with a broken bottle because we lived in a shoe box on the council tip. Luxury!
