Done
Be nice to see things that will wear (such as washing machine bearings etc etc) having maintainability built in, ditto electrics at a sensible component level.
“We need to adopt more make do and mend as opposed to throw away and buy new.”
We used to have this, in our case it was based on a lower standard of living (less money so more inclined to repair), less ‘integrated/sophisticated’ devices so often more possible to repair, different attitude w.r.t stuff (keeping up with the jones seemed to be a lot less of an issue). When I was very young we used to go to the dump and come back with stuff, it doesn’t work that way now and I suspect that an awful lot of people wouldn’t contemplate that way of life. I still always look in every skip I pass………..
