As Easter rapidly approaches and the supermarkets have so many chocolate eggs in stock it is difficult to even get in the door I thought you would be interested in yet another little history lesson from KSV. The idea of giving eggs as a gift goes back in distant history to Pagan times when the [...]
VENDING MACHINES FOR DISPOSABLE NAPPIES.
March 29th, 2010I spotted a rather clever idea from the USA recently where snack Vending Machines have been adapted to dispense a choice of makes and sizes of individually packed disposable nappies. This must be a godsend for busy parents who find that nature has taken its course with their youngster when they were really not expecting [...]

COFFEE MACHINE LEGEND EMILIO LAVAZZA DIES.
March 23rd, 2010For many coffee drinkers the name Lavazza is synonymous with Italian coffee culture and for almost forty years Emilio Lavazza headed up this successful company until his death last month.

AT LEAST THE TAXMAN LEAVES YOUR CUPPA ALONE

BAN ON CIGARETTE VENDING MACHINES …NOT QUITE!
March 15th, 2010CNN are reporting news from Belgium where a different use is being found for all of their potentially redundant cigarette Vending Machines. A manufacturer of smoke free electronic cigarettes has plans to sell its products in over 5,000 cigarette machines across the country. As the ban on smoking in public places really takes effect the [...]
COMPOSTABLE PLASTICS NOW THAT IS A GOOD IDEA!
March 11th, 2010For years oil based plastics whilst being a convenient means of producing bags, bottles and packaging have been recognised as less than environmentally friendly. It appears a plastic bottle that can quite happily be thrown on your compost heap rather then sent to landfill or recycled may now be close at hand. London based researchers [...]
NEW ICE BLUE LIVERY FOR THE ICEBREAK CAN BASE
March 9th, 2010In addition to the standard black and orange livery on the Icebreak can vendor base unit, which was designed to coordinate with the matching range of In-cup Machines, you can now opt for the eye catching bright ice blue livery. The new livery is available with immediate effect. Not only does it look great, we [...]
VENDING MACHINES AND NOSEY KIDS!
March 5th, 2010A two year old boy found the toys contained in a vending machine at a Brewers Fayre pub in Chippenham just too tempting recently. The young lad managed to get his arm stuck whilst trying to reach the toys inside and the local fire brigade had to take some of the machine apart to release [...]
