The vacuum cleaner that we paid quite a bit for because, not being silly people with our money, we did a lot of research into before splashing out. Now just 8 years later off it goes to silicon heaven! (Red Dwarf
)
Now I realise I am probably being totally unrealistic expecting an appliance that does admittedly get a lot of work to last a long time and I can hear you saying well 8 years IS a long time. Yes I know we live in a throw away society with obsolescence built in, but yes, I was hopeful really. I mean my mother, bless her soul, had a cleaner that lasted eons!
AAAAAAAAAAAAhhhhhhhhh, how old do I sound?
Well, ok, I'm not that young but honestly and really and **** and blast it. It was bad enough that my old steam driven pc wouldn't take Windows 8 so we had to buy a new pc. AND when DVD's came in and suddenly all our old VHS tapes were SO old fashioned! AND now DVD's are old hat but I have to say I truly love the new teeny tiny storage devices but heck, does nothing last or stay the same these days? It only seems like yesterday I was 5, starting school and being humiliated and ground down by my very first institution
Rant over.....for now
Love you guys....honest!
