Re: Changing the throw away culture, BBC News
The bug I have with quite a few modern assemblies is this: 'Good idea, badly executed'
Even down to the level of the little Casio Digital watches churned out by Argos for sub £16- accurate, bomb-proof, water resistant, backlit, but with a strap that can't be changed and gives way quite quickly if put under any strain (I think Guy would agree with me on this!) This then leaves you with a pocket watch that lasts for years, but can't be worn. They end up glued to the wall of various sheds, where they happily keep going on their massive lithium cell.
