The Raleigh Vektar.
Prior to its release… “The bike was subjected to severe vibration impact and fatigue tests by children from the east end of London.” 😂
I wanted one of those so bad
Bus conductor hanging out by the spiral staircase at the back of the bus, winding out tickets to passengers . . . upstairs and everybody is smoking Major or Benson & Hedges Gold. Tickets please :-)
Go ahead.
The funniest bit is the spokesman (see what I did there) from Raleigh, who is a marked contrast from the kind of hip 30-something advocate you'd see bigging up any similar product today.

I remember them weighing a fecking ton.

It's not so scary without the handle , my cousin got one with an electric motor cobbled onto it
I tried to use one when visiting my grandmother donkeys years ago. I was mid teens and she was in her 70’s, I couldn’t get a single turn out of it with a couple of turnips in it, she just looked at me in disgust and proceeded to turn the handle as if there was nothing in it. A big soft townie is how she described me to my old man.
What is it ? There was an old one at the house growing up , I know because of an incident with my thumb. A different appliance . I thought it was a spinning wheel
It was used to chop turnips to feed cattle IIRC

Heard it called a mangle.
A mangle had two rollers and was used for squeezing water out of clothes.
We must send a postcard to Grandma while we're on holiday in France.
