Things that seem odd is like why did dad run several of my socks through when it was the machine showed up "pump failure", broke down and he put them on a radiator when I seriously doubt as the drum didn't run they have not been properly rinsed and have a major outbreak of white flaky stuff all over them that doesn't seem to want to go.
I suspect these pairs will need to replaced from a well known stockist for around £13 to 15 per sock while I do have some unopened spare y fronts to replaced stiff as card ones washed too
Said machine is meant to replaced yesterday - as ever this written a little in advance - which neccessiated some movement of things as the back door opens outward rather than inwoods so everything has to pass through the front door, then through to the living room and door from there to the kitchen.
That uncovered this great 1990 survey with interesting pictures of UK Boys Prep schools of the 1980's which is an interesting read of itself and obviously a start point for getting your ALB/ASB uniform a good match for how it was back then so it is realistic.
