Shock, horror, apparently it's not environmentally friendly to make new stuff rather then mend older stuff....

Sound familiar?

Yes I've just watched it, I wonder if they could have found anyone any more "geeky" to interview than the couple on the sofa?

I have the workshop manual for a 1982 ZX Spectrum if anyone needs to see if their ZTX650 is in good order though
