We live in multi (what you'd call a tower block), and we had to get home every night before the powercuts to avoid having to walk up to the 8th floor in the pitch dark. And my Dad only recently replaced his washing-machine which had a "Buy British" sticker on the front. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=32568&page=3#post-93254 Fri, 28 Oct 2011 15:46:37 +0000 dvo4fun 93254@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Yep I remember those andh.
