In fact, just the other weekend I had to go out and buy yet another hairdryer because mine had broken.
It had only lasted me less than a year and of course, the same thing happened last year!
Recently I have also had to purchase a new iron, toaster and kettle because the appliances simply stopped working, and don’t even get me started on mobile phones…!
It seems that large companies are now all getting their appliances manufactured in China for as cheaply as possible to give us a product that will just do. I’m sick of it.
I remember the sturdy, well made appliances that were made to last a lifetime.
The cars, fridges, washing machines, toasters, kettles that just ran and ran and ran. You couldn’t break them.
Today’s appliances are plastic, flimsy and flakey. I miss the old appliances and it pisses me off that things just don’t last like they used to!
