Stews, did you get caught or trapped in one? You have to be careful when rummaging in that antique collection. :)

Right now, I'm carefully ruminating upon the function of the pin in this smallish pineapple-shaped thing which I came across.

I got my arm trapped in the automatic mangle of a washing machine. Due to lack of space the washing machine was placed the wrong way round with the release thingy up against the wall it rolled my arm up to the shoulder my friend heard the streaming and switched off the power. Then about two weeks later she got her hair caught in it. Nearly scalped her. After that we bought a twin tub.

Two scary experiences. I never got caught in one, but I remember, as a kid, feeding things through them.

We were never posh enough to have an automatic mangle, one of us kids had to turn the handle while mum fed the washing through, and on one occasion her hand!

They used to have one at our local swimming baths to squeeze your costume dry.

I remember my mum using an electric mangle which flattened all the buttons on my little liberty bodice.

My client's brother lost an arm in a machine at work (many years ago). It literally pulled it off and threw it onto the lap of the person behind him. He was sacked shortly after.

I should add my client lost three fingers working at the same place!

Tilly, I remember that too, but we had a hand mangle.

When the new fangled thing came in to the office, one of the blokes I work with caught his tie in the shredder - it was nearly quite nasty.

Never worked out why there were rubber buttons on a liberty bodice.
Liberty? Straight jacket without sleeves!

Tilly - liberty bodice took me back!

My elder brothers put their youngest brother's hand through a corn bruiser. His pinkie was permanently crooked.

Kept me confined Tilly. Hated them and managed to lose a few at the swimming baths.

Is liberty bodice posh for a vest?

What's a liberty bodice? Like a basque?

Try looking up in Wikepedia.

Maybe with the fuel price hikes and need to keep warm they'll bring them back!
