Is this for gardening?

[Nicos]

Well I never!!!!

Guess what I've just seen at a Vide Grenier??? ( car boot sale)???

Yup- the very same thing for €4!
A lady in the 80's was telling me her mom used to have one- and chucked it out the moment she got her first proper washing machine!

Wish I'd bought it now- just to flog on!

[veggiechicken]

What a coincidence Nicos!! Its a bit like waiting for buses ................

[Snadger]

Maybe its about time to get rid of ours and buy the missus a new fangled washing machine? Don't want to spoil her with all this electrisical stuff though.
Suppose the wooden hand ringer will have to go also!
I'll find a use for the poss tub at the allotment.

[veggiechicken]

You spoil your good lady, Snadge Are you still using the scrubbing board for skiffle

[Nicos]

....perchance yr Mrs would appreciate a tumble drier too Snadge???

[Nicos]

And..you'll never guess???

We went to pick up a single bed iron bed head and base today...and guess what he was selling????


Yeh...I know!!!!

this is getting flippin repetitive..his was €20....
hhmmm...still kicking meself for not buying the one at €4
c'est la vie eh??

[veggiechicken]

Maybe the 4 euro one will still be for sale next time - after all. who in their right mind would want such old technology

[Nicos]

Ha!..can you please look in yr glass ball and tell me when and where his next stall will be???? * sigh

[veggiechicken]

Even if that one isn't there, there's bound to be another one for sale as you've seen 2 in a couple of days - they must be as common as .........ummm, really common things

[Nicos]

Personally- I'd use yours in the garden- the idea of boiling knicker elastic etc...modern clothes wouldn't last 10 mins at 100C !

Me thinks yours may be missing the middle bit ( the flue bit???)

Maybe not!. and it's a rarity!

[veggiechicken]

Flue bit.........?? Deffo don't have one of those - or anywhere obvious where one could go Mine must be incredibly rare - any advance on 5 euros

[taff]

I have a similar one with no lid and a grill? 4.50 euros?

[veggiechicken]

I'll sell you the lid for 2 euros, taff
