Umm, none of the above! A lesson well learnt. Always, always, always take your reading glasses with you, if you need them and put the bloody things on to read labels correctly. :rolleyes:Quote:

Of course this is all valid if the printed label on the article isn't blurry or incomplete.

The other day I decided to repair the floor fan that I put in the kitchen doorway, as the speed switch was rather wobbly, looked like they hadn't drilled the hole the right size, and I thought I had just the tool for it a stepped drill bit, but on removing the switch I found it had been installed the wrong way around from the factory, so no drilling or trip back to the supplier required, yay.
Bigger ticket items, I have them emailed. I can check on my phone before I leave the store. Paper receipts tend to visit some black hole that exists in my car.Quote:

A few days ago I found the receipt for a faulty Christmas present I sent to my son - in the pocket of a shirt that should have been but wasn't in the laundry basket. (After combing through my filing system where I was sure I had put it, my briefcase where I might have put it, and the car, where I assumed I had dropped it). Finding it was because I checked the pockets as it went into the basket.
What’s a brief case?

GLADstone bag ? - ere' back in my day,..... [bigsad]
Around 35+ years ago, 'er inside lashed out on a lounge room / entrance hall clock, back in the day the height of fashion as a giant pocket watch, complete with rubbishy gold-coloured coating... which has now all be vanished from rust underneath... Noticed yesterday it was getting a few hours behind - shows you how much I look at it ! - dying AA battery.
Clock boasts "Made in JAPAN" and most surprising... quartz movement is made in ...... US of A. Yep, gotta be genuine as there's an ON-OFF switch in it !!!!
So yes, it IS possible to build stuff ourselves.... not every thing needs to come from.... C****

But it had to be given a regular KIWI polish every few months of tan polish.
