Just read an article in todays newspaper (Quoted) :-
"When Grace Marks splashed out on her first cooker, little did she think it would not only outlive her, but still be doing her family proud......52 years later.
Grace bought her New World 42 appliance for £38.00 in 1959"
Her daughter, Val (now 62) said yesterday :-
" There's nothing wrong with it so there was no reason to throw it away. It still means I've got a little bit of my mum here with me."
Jon Brennan, commercial manager for New World said :-
"It has certainly got to be one of the oldest working cookers in the UK!"
Can anyone top this? (With any electric appliance) It would be interesting to know what's out there in Caithness/Orkney/Sutherland which could possibly put this cooker's age to shame? ;)
