Some of you may have spotted the news items today on BBC on the throw away culture and re-introducing repairable items. Various members of the repair community were interviewed and it may lead to legislation that requires manufacturers to design products to be repairable and supportable in the future. A lot of reference was made to people repairing there own things which is a big change from the 'No user repairable items' labels and items made difficult to open. My own view would be that all major items over a certain value such as cars, TVs domestic appliances should have a mandatory 5 or 7 year warranty, thereby forcing manufacturers to design equipment to last a good time and drive out the low quality parts.

I would be interested in other view particularly those that worked in repairing and servicing.
