I agree... I find it amusing/sad/despairing/ironic that it tends to be the youth that 'bang-on' the most about the need to save the planet... yet it is them that have absolutely no idea it's how they live that is causing it !! For a good visual example... just look at the waste left behind at Glastonbury !most peoples logic is they can buy and use till it blows up a £200 WM then just scrap it after 18 months , then rinse and repeat...
The thought of having the same WM for 20 years and keep repairing it would be totally alien now to anyone under 40

Ah, nostalgia ain't what it used to be...
I've changed your wording to actually include a sentence.EU brings in 'right to repair' rules for appliances
The rules will make household appliances longer-lasting and easier to fix.www.bbc.co.uk
What do you think of this 'right to repair' legislation coming in/being considered?
Too right. Good old Raleigh bicycles had great brakes that hardly ever used to break!I rememberwhen i was a kid things worked then amd never hardly brake
And now thing dont last long now .
We tend to throw things out if a wheel falls of a hoover.
