Zero's thread about the Sony TVs reminds me that we were supposed to buy a new telly about 5 years ago. We wanted a Philips 28" job, but were about to look for a new house so didn't want to buy something that was going to be too big. Ended up going for a 16" portable Toshiba for £70 that was intended to be a stop gap - and we've still got it. OK, it doesn't have the best picture or sound going, but it's been great for £70. Needless to say, we bought it at JL, who I have a lot of time for. I'm now touching wood, as the five year guarantee ran out last month...
I'm sure that five years is a relatively short time compared to some other members' possessions which were intended, when bought, to do until a more permanent replacement could be afforded or accomodated. Any examples?
