I am afraid this is the case nowadays. I cannot think what it was but I saw something (non electronic) in the last couple of days with a bit of history ruined for the sake of the latest trends. It depresses me sometimes to see on these programs that lovely Victorian and other antiques are no longer valued whereas things we thought of as tat in the sixties and seventies are pushing the figures. Best hold on to old Hongkong trannies. The Chinese will lap them up!
