Maggie/915 Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Twice in recent years a toilet has leaked because a thin piece of plastic has broken!In the past it would have been a washer and lasted longer.The throwaway society did not exist.Recycling was make do and mend!Maybe I am just nostalgic for the Sixties and quality control. Remember buy British was a slogan.Obviously lots of people will be too young to comment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Symptoms Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 My chainsaw conked-out on Monday ... I've had the beast for over 35 years and it's given me sterling service (German manufacture). Anyway, I went to the Stihl website looking for a spare inlet gasket but mine wasn't listed as it was too old a model, so I phoned them on Monday afternoon and they said they'd sent me one by post at no charge. It arrived yesterday (Thursday) and I fitted it in the afternoon and the machine started straight-away. Brilliant service, top-notch equipment ... but would I get that sort of service for something made in China? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
