Sanyo, a name from the distant past. Are they still around?

No. The factory in Lowestoft got demo’d about 10 years ago. It’s mothballed at the moment but going to be houses I believe. As far as I know that was the only factory. At one point nearly every house in Lowestoft had a Sanyo. They must either have had a good local discount or rubbish security……

Ours used to say "Procrastination is the thief of time" - usually when referring to homework for some odd reason.

 

[Other Daniel]

Tomorrow I'm going to stop procrastinating !

What does it do?

supposedly saves you gas , hence " gas saver " I think it supposed to the rush of shielding when the gas valve opens on a tig or mig machine .
