Smeg FAB32

I'm spending much of my time now in dirndl skirts and bobby socks, or capri pants a la Audrey Hepburn on alternate days. Why? Ah, I'm so glad you asked, because I'm just desperate to tell you all about my new Smeg fridge-freezer. I was forced to bid a tearful farewell to my old Zanussi. Not because I loved it so much - it was noisy, lacked space and had ultimately betrayed me in its bid to evolve to an oven.

I am writing this review 4 years after buying this fridge, In my opinion the purchase was a mistake. While it had stunning retro looks when it was new the fridge, (which has been cared for as the manual suggested) is now beginning to rust.
