The House The 50`s Built

Presented By Brendan Walker  Well did you enjoy watching "The House the 50`s Built", tv programme on C4?, most people I have spoken to did, it took them straight back to their memories of growing up, the hardships, the good times, the lack of appliances that where present in the show. Here`s the pic of my Servis Supertwin MK27 Twintub that was featured by Sheila his neighbour.  Did any of you have this as your family washer? Do you remember your mum using one or perhaps the smell of steamy washing powder or the noise of "Washday"  all over the house - Dont forget to let us know!!!
