As an airplane is about to crash, a female passenger jumps up frantically and announces, “If I’m going to die,
I want to die feeling like a woman.” Removing all her clothes she asks, “Is there someone on this plane who is
man enough to make me feel like a woman?” A man stands up, removes his shirt and says, “Here, iron this!”.

EDDIETORIAL
Oh modern technology! I am a tad old hat
when it comes to the latest gadgets and
technology. My first experience of new
technology was a remote control for the
television, it had me never leaving the couch
and gaining a few pounds! Technology did
not stop there, no! Some genius started to
make computers, which I luckily managed to
get albeit it was about 2 feet deep and not
at all pretty but at the time it was the next
generation to me. Then phones became
widely available, “great, now I’ll never have
a moments piece from the Mrs”. Emails then
took the world by storm, another mode of
contact I sooo needed… And how has my
iPod stayed the same weight after hours
of uploading old records and cassettes I
put on it over the years I’ll never know!!
MCD now have an amazing network
and website all set up on our
IT Cloud. But I am starting
to wonder how on earth
that cloud is going to take
the weight of the hundreds of
appliances and lighting products
Marie and Emily have put on the website?.
Seriously what the team have done especially
Marie & Emily in loading information and
images to ensure everyone has access to
clear and informative products is great
and I want to say a big thank you to you
both for all the time and commitment in
keeping MCD and all its trading clients
up to date with easy access to relevant
industry information and specifications.

Fridge Freezer “is the best
we’ve tested so far this year.”
We’re proud to announce that
we can add another accolade
to our growing award list
with a Best Buy award from
Which? for our Fridge Freezer.
5 years Parts &
Labour Warranty
The frost-free model has
received an impressive score of
84% - one of the highest scores
Which? gave in this category
– for its dedicated sensored
chill zones, digital controls
and separate thermostats
for controlling the fridge
and freezer temperatures.
Other key specifics of the
Grundig GKN16820 Fridge
Freezer that were highlighted
in the review include its
temperature stability and the

which features the unique
vacation mode that reduces
energy consumption whilst
consumers are on holiday.

opportunity to make you aware of
Manufacturer changes concerning
