Got my long hair caught in wringer, just enough time to bump it open

June Williams
My Nana had a copper. We had to light the gas before washing and as a child I loved feeding the clothes through the wringer to rinse them in the tub.

Dorothy Wills
Used one of these for many years back in the 1960s

Frank ODonnell
Still got one

Caroline Crann
I got my arm stuck. It didn't release. I had to scream for help. still have slightly mashed fingers!

Alan Maher
Being the oldest in a large family (3 under 5) my job was to help my mother by sticking the nappies through the wringer. I became on speaking terms with the crash bar when a nappy curled around the rollers.

Flora Tru Carrington

Betty Clark

Had my front teeth broken when the release was hit when clothing caught, and the end flew out and hit me in the mouth.

My first (second hand) washing machine Loved it after washing nappies by hand for 6 months until we could afford one!

Sheryl Iraia
I used one of these until I had 6 children. Taught me to sort my washing, whites, lights, colours etc. Nowadays it appears to me they just stuff it all in and wash.

Was the first new washing machine I bought. Did a really good job for washing the clothes clean. Especially dirty farm clothes !!!!

My Mum got her first Washing Machine, just like the one in the picture, when I was born. 60+ years ago.
