Britains oldest working cooker!?


KEEN cook Avice Hartshorn bought her brand new Belling electric cooker in 1952 - and 58 years later the cooker is still in perfect working order and has never needed any repairs.

Hospital worker Avice, of Harlow, Essex, only ever had TWO cookers until she died recently aged 91.

Her daughter, Avron, 69 - who inherited the Belling - said: "It still works brilliantly. But I didn't realise it was guzzling so much electricity."

The cooker costs £180 a year in electricity. An energy efficient one would cut a third off that.
