I sold my Matchless 500 in 1968 for £25. wish I'd not.

 

[Deleted member 26818]

£25 was worth a lot more in 1968 than today.
Of course it was worth even more back in 1966.

 

[telectrix]

i paid £8 for it in 1966 with a double adult sidecar attached. this was stripped down to a 18" high open box. ( done by my dad while i was rebuilding the single cylinder lump.)

Wasn’t that when we won the World Cup?

 

[telectrix]

yep.and then had it nicked. and they call us Scousers thieves. We can't compete with them Cockney tea leaves.

 

[Deleted member 26818]

It’s true, Scousers just can’t compete with Cockneys.

 

[telectrix]

we can in legal activities.

 

[Deleted member 26818]

There’s probably more Cockneys in the red team than there are in the blue.

 

[telectrix]

NAH. Most of ours are foreigners, trained up as honorary scousers.

Not sure if anyone has any more information but I understand that some fridges are made with a flamable insulating material, and others are not. I'm not sure if there has been a recent change in legislation to ban the flamable stuff, but I think thats what turns small component faliures in to large house fires very quickly.

Edit to add:
More info here Which? names 250 fridges and freezers that pose fire risk - https://www.theguardian.com/business/2018/apr/05/which-names-250-fridges-and-freezers-that-pose-fire-risk

3 grand. could have bought a decent van for that.

Yeah but your van won't tell you when you've run out of bacon & bangers. Alternatively, one could just buy a normal fridge and open the door to see how many porkers you've got left.

Hello telectrix,

When I first read your message I thought that you were on a wind up regarding the Company name - but I then remembered that I had seen a reference to the `Arcelik` name previously online regarding `White Goods` manufactured in other Countries.

And when I had researched further I found that the Company was owned / operated by `Koc Holdings` which I think I remember reading is the largest Industrial & Services Group in Turkey.

I am sure that We have all come across product or Company names from other Countries which are perceived to be either `Rude` or Amusing from an English spelling point of view - but I was slightly amused [in a Schoolboy humour way] to read those 2 Company names were associated with each other.

Regards,

Chris
