Which Reminds Me
I am trying to remember who it was who was sounding out our opinions on the subject of wringer washing machines. Yes, my grandmother was still using one of those things even in the 1970s, until she died, come to think of it. She kept it in the garage. Very clever how the tub will be swishing and shaking and then suddenly it stops and the clothing, the sheets, etc., starts coming through the wringer. But, yes, of course, there is no money today in the market for wringer washing machines. Most people nowadays want a modern front-loader with lots of lights and buttons and dials on the control panel. But of course wringer washing machines had their day. Another example of old-fashioned outdated technologies that became obsolete because time didn't stand still for them. Needless to say, most of those old machines are now rusting in junkyards, but they did have their season.
