It reminds me of the 1970s fad for having little cloth tops to go on your toilet seat cover, with colours matching the carpet of of course. Once Trendy Wendy down the street had one, they all had to have them.

Our boiler was installed by the previous owner of the house - he bought it 'off a mate', second hand. We moved here in 1980.

Their real purpose was to provide enough padding to ensure the seat wouldn't stay in the upright position. Female passive agressive action against all males.
1974 Dual turntable, has travelled from Australia to here and no repairs.
1979 National 3 band portable/mains radio with fine tuning.
I'm pretty sure my 1972ish Yashica camera would still work if I put the right battery in it.

Our Miele dishwasher must be going on 25 years now... only had to do one fix (replace an O ring on the water softener to fix a slow leak)
I understand my table saw (Delta Unisaw) was made in 1948 (long before I was even a twinkle!), still going strong. Got a surface planer of similar vintage.
I'm our freestanding dishwasher and well past retirement age! :-)))
Ha! I'm married to someone who is convinced she can do a better job than any mechanised dishwasher. Might be an overactive sense of smell as nothing to do with fish is allowed in there!
