Default Re: Daily Mail today, is this Britains oldest working oven?

New World used to be one of the brands made at the TI group, we had one up the road at Blythe Bridge some years ago. My cooker of choice in 'Home Ec' at Blythe high school was a TI New World. Ironic that the article quotes 'New World, the manufacturers' who can only be Glen Dimplex, the owner of the brand. I believe they farm out alot of cookers out to our Turkish friends at Vestel, the upmarket models being made at Robinson Willey; another of their brands and one of the few white goods makers to still manufacture in the UK.
Many tradesmen will refuse to connect outdated appliances it seems, so she's been lucky.
