1473807 2020-12-20 22:14:00 There was an interesting conversation. Have you any stuff you had it for 20yrs and still using? Not just items that was bought second hand and you've not owned for 20yrs personally.

For myself that would be a typical family film SLR camera 2001 January that I used 2 or so years ago. My 1998 stereo that I use everyday (!). I even have a goretex jacket which is my own real substantial wet jacket from 2001 March or February but the inner fleece jacket is January 1997, also various polo trips that just got opened earlier this year which was from the same trip as the Canon camera 2000 December - 2001 January to Asia. Still might have 1 knockoff Caterpillar polo might be oversized! Obviously there are cars but that is a bit more common and stuff lying in the garage like screwdrivers and tools. Ditto old travel books, atlases and dictionaries etc ...


Cheers.

My lawnmower would be just on 19 years, bought it just after we moved into our first house . And we've only just started replacing some of our towels which would be the same age (wedding presents) .

Handtools,I'd have the odd one older that 19 years .

1473814 2020-12-21 01:17:00 Stainless steel insulated coffee mug that my daughter have me in 2003 . 18 years ago in January . I drink at least 6+ cups of coffee a day . A lot of days 7 cups . That's a tad under 40,000 buckets of sludge I have had out of it in that time . Keeps the coffee quite warm for ages .

Good for probably more years than I am . . . . . . . . . . .
