I have an aversion to anything electrical that is made in France.........................since we have arrived here BH has worked his way through 3 lawnmowers, 1 chainsaw, 4 strimmers, 2 hoovers, 4 toasters, 3 kettles, 2 liveboxes for Orange internet, 2 BBQ's and just this weekend our microwave blew up (our 3rd one). Admittedly he is heavy handed, (well large handed) but bar 1 kettle and 1 hoover the above list of items were all made and bought in France. It can't just be BH, can it? Our French neighbour is mystified as she has only just replaced her Fridge having had the last French made one for 15 years (and only because the light inside stopped working). We are forever buying new electrical items - or it seems we are. When we visit our local Dechetterie (Tip) the place is piled high with white goods - predominantly fridges, microwaves and TV's - the disposables of life. Our TV is a huge coffin-like contraption which we have had for 7 years. It still works..............just. Recently its taken to switching itself off but it does still work - this was bought in the UK. But buying a new TV is a minefield for me and BH.
HD, LCD, Flat Screen, Sky Digibox with internet and telephone, ipod etc etc - all I want is a TV that works!
