I think they should sell top loaders in shops or over the internet etc. In my experience the cost of ownership is about the same as a front loader because top loaders last longer and give fewer problems.

Totally agree.

I am against top loading, there should be an even spread, give everyone a chance I say.

The stuff you learn ... http://www.urbandictionary.com/defin...term=toploader

Thanks for the info. Would you be so kind as to extend your comparison to cost per wash?

I imagine that the amount recommended depends on the type of machine in which it will be used. Typically top loaders like mine require twice the detergent compared to a front loader. In other words, half the recommended dose of the Woolies product might work well in front loaders. Something to try at a very low cost?

I like this thread, it's cheered me up a bit, things are not as out of kilter as I thought.

In fact it's done this for me... (just to show how far a thread can actually go ff topic )

How much is a nice female Cockney accent combined with 'tude worth.... Priceless dammit. Didnt realise how much I missed it till this came along. Hope my Daughter comes back with a trace of one.


Oh will I can smile now I realise that prices aint that bad.

She's certainly more interesting than the cost of groceries.

Getting her jollies by paying to have her boyfriend assaulted, his possessions damaged and slipping laxatives into his drink.

You strike me as a very silly boy and her as malicious. Probably conditions arrived at through poor, perhaps self-harming, shopping habits.

What a bad example to set to people. It's just idiotic. Can't stand that over-rated whining female either.

Now I've told you before to stick with what you can handle and two Babychams and an Advocaat are waaay too much for you.

What like this from 1966, . Your getting old man, either that or your not as worldly as your Bus Route would indicate... you ever been to Blackwell or Stepney ?



Now a feeble attempt to get the thread back on target.

I wonder where was cheaper in 66 Aus or the UK ?
