Things just aren’t as good as they used to be.
We recently purchased a new washing machine but in the course of doing so we got to talking about how long products last for – definitely a sign of us getting old. Although I don’t think we used the line “back in my day……” The washing machine we were replacing was a 6.5 kg Hoover […]

Choosing a vacuum cleaner was never going to be easy or so I thought. A quick google of “Which is the best vacuum cleaner of buy?” yielded in excess of 5,290,000 results. A quick scout around a number of reputable websites and I was confused. So instead of relying on the web to make my decision […]
