Wow, you would have thought she would have upgraded by now!

I guess they don't make things like they used to! Lol.

Maybe she still keeps it in an icehouse in her back garden

I just upgraded my box. It was around 35 years old.

Baking soda resistant smell probably kills more of them than breaking down does.

when we went to the electrical house of the 50s, it had the exact same toaster we use today

The mother of two uses the fridge to store plastic four-pint containers of milk, yoghurt, margarine, vegetables, raw meat - and occasionally a supply of chilled beer. And she uses the cool enamel top for rolling pastry, a tip she picked up from her mother.

She only uses it as a second freezer out in her laundry room. She has a newer one in her kitchen.
