Sorry, missed page 2 of the posts (I know I should look).
OT, but, my nan (RIP) had one of those twin tubs (RIP). You had to stick the grey drain pipe (sic) into that (middle hole) during the wash cycle, correct?
My nan always used the original Fairy powder (flakes), these things smelt great and I would as a sub-ten year old attend a full wash-cycle from beginning to end whenever I stayed over. I must have been a suzie homemaker even then, hehe. She even had tongs for the boil wash Remember playing with the washing like it was a broth. V. Odd.
Actually, it was at what this place (home/pub), where I supposedly used to regularly drag back junk to play with; including that said washing machine I spoke about either earlier, or, in that other junk thread.
On the other hand, my mum was a tight-ass and preferred ACDO? A vile yellow powder in small packets and smelt like dog shampoo (probably made by Unilever and now called ultra mega-tabs or something).
But, when Bold 2-in-1 came out - now that was a dream powder. If ever I was sent to the shop for washing powder I would always come back with Bold 2-in1: even if I had to suffer a clip round the ear for 'wasting' mums hard earned pence.
