No problem. And as a tid bit a "Frania" is an old type of washing machine. So that's what the name is connotated with."The National Museum in Poznañ is currently exhibiting unique, formerly everyday household objects such as the Pionier radio (exclusive and regular versions), the Szarotka radio, a scooter, Mikrus and Syrena automobiles, a Wis³a TV set and the Frania washing machine, an item that has near-cult status in Poland. These objects display life in Poznañ the way it was 50 years ago. The exhibition also contains photographs, posters, paintings, graphic works, documents, clothes and other domestic objects."http://www.warsawvoice.pl/view/11939
