I have a 1960s Kenwood chef still in use. Made bread cakes and recently when my dog had a stroke liquidised breast of lamb stew in it. Poor old dog could only lap not chew, but now he's eating again. |

Just shows they don't make things to last now. My mum's first hoover lasted about 20 years (bought early seventies) My dyson blew up one day and it was just five years old!!! |

I have my grandmother old iron,you know the one you use to put on the fire to heat up, before you iron with it, it must be late 1800's early 1900's I should think, may be it Greatgranny in that case.... I just have it on display by the fire place, as I have a nice electric one lol.....Lilly |
