Hey Milker, you had one of those in your flat up til the late 90s. I'll never forget the dubbing segue between an episode of Twin Peaks and The Simpsons meant that Maggie beeping the horn in the opening titles played the opening "bum-bummm" notes of the Twin Peaks theme.

Great days.

we had one of those. Setting it up, tuning it in etc was always a major operation. We even had the gun that was supposed to shoot the dot on the screen. Never worked properly. We ended up cutting the wire off and just playing with it.

I still think Jet Set Willy II is the greatest game ever made. We didn't have any of those fancy soda streams, teas maids or the like but we wanted them all. That girl in the Soda Stream ad at about 18 seconds could go in the horn for thread if I cound find out how to do a screen grab.

Do computer games consoles count as "appliances" though? Here's a real appliance of my youth - this even looks like my ma's carpet and skirting board in the 80s:

Not appliances but does anyone still have an embossed gold-coloured coal box? a ceramic of a dude in a hat writing or drawing on a tablet, a weird shaped brown bottle covered in goldy chains?
