So ‘being green’ is what it’s all about. How? Surely it not only cheaper and more ‘friendy’ To the poor environment to repair rather than throw away? Perhaps not if you are a greedy so and so and want to make money out of selling substandard items. They must be substandard if they do not last as long as they used to.The Programme RIP Off Britain comes to mind. Shame on manufacturers of second rate items. As an aside. We have an electric dryer that is 45 years old, Hotpoint, and it is used even now every other day in winter, and has been used excessively over the years when we have visitors staying from Germany and here. Never even changed a belt on it, just look after it, like my car.
