Second hand goods
Are never quite new
Even scrubbed
Lack cleanliness
Lack shine
Lack lustre
No instructions
No guarantees
No idea
How long they’ll last
Of the mileage
Or abusage
Someone else
Has touched them
Left their prints
Left their smell
Banged the drum
Heard the spin
Tumbled readily
Washed out
The colour
Be it washer, drier or microwave
Better, I think, to buy new
Yes but even new ones can be shop soiled! When loads a peeps have had their grubby mitts on them trying them out, who can tell what you`re sometimes getting???

Would agree Janet - sometimes it has more to do with the history of the appliance and the previous owners.

How very sad but true. With a little time and patience though, sometimes they work out just as well. Might be a bit out-dated but at least they had the chance to be loved.
New can be equally difficult to get accustomed to and often break down just as the guarantee's run out.

I'm presuming this could also apply to people? You are good, girl.
Those shorter formal structures of poetry which I mentioned before are just plain fun, Joan. If you don 't find them, give me a shout; I know you would enjoy them.

Hi Joan,
Ah, so true. There's many a good spoon slayed on an old griddle. :-)
Bring back the dolly-tub!
