The BBC recently had an interesting article about people still using old gadgets:
BBC News - If it ain't broke: You share your oldest working gadgets
Yesterday I cycled to a local Sainsbury's and in the cycle park was an ancient bike I'd seen there on previous visits.
As it happens I was packing my shopping on to the Brompton when the bike's owner, an elderly guy in elderly clothes, came out and we chatted about bikes in general and his bike in particular. Apparently he bought the bike second hand for £7 in 1960 - so it's now over 60 years old and still serving him well. Absolutely brilliant!
Some of you know that I have an interest in paraffinalia and occasionally fire up an old 'Primus' stove or similar for my meal or coffee.
So has anyone else still got and use old gadgets? Please note that humans are not admissable in this instance!
