Remember the old Speedie toaster? The one where you had to flip the bread over yourself because it didn’t pop up on its own? And when the element burned out, you just replaced it—no need for a technician. Did you use this back then? Share your memories here.

When I was younger (teenager) I was doing the washing up and picked up my toaster (like this one) and started washing it up. I obviously had a brain fade and also had no toaster after that The toaster promptly went in the bin and I bought myself a newer model. Was it deliberate so I could upgrade???????

Yes, and Dad was the technician who changed elements when needed.

I guess it wasn't plugged in as you can still tell the story.

I still have two of these door toasters. Great for Crumpets. You can toast one side more than the other without burning.

I remember they got very hot on the outside and I was very good at burning the toast!

We had one when I was growing up, always seemed to burn my fingers or the toast. Thank goodness for the pop up toasters!!
