As I was carving our Sunday roast an hour or so ago, i realised how old our electric carving knife was.
My Dad bought it for my mum, and he died in 1981, so I am guessing it is from the late 70s - over 30 years old!! We also have a chest freezer from 1981, and a microwave which OH and I bought when we got engaged in February 1986.
And all of them are in perfect working order!! (Hope I'm not tempeting fate here).
And yet we have been through no end of washing machines, hoovers and cookers snce then, Were things more built to last back then?
I know you young ones won't have any relics like me, but do any FMs have some old appliances which they still use on a regular basis?
