Absolutely, I can certainly relate to this.
A Fisher & Paykel fridge/freezer (about 33 years old) and a hammer (about 40 years old) left behind by my wife's first husband. (thanks, Tony)
SWMBO says she has had me for nearly 3 of those 20s. Said she doesn't know whether the raffle ticket she won me with, was worth the 6d she paid.
Ken ;)
Most of my hand tools are over 20, both nail guns are 30 years old and still in daily use, my stereo is 19 years old
My collection of porn, VCRs Penthouses Hustlers and Playboy.
It's not always a good thing. My mum was using a fryer...I tossed the chips, offending her, had it 20 yrs she said, using it for 20 yrs she said.
Oh yes.
I took it apart after trying 3 sinkloads and still not getting it clean.
This lump fell out...like dark brown soap....
Not changed the oil in 20 yrs?? I said to my brother, as she used olive oil too, it's amazing it didn't catch fire and he said yes it used to.
We no longer have a fryer at all. I do oven chips.
Lounge suite (30 years), car ('94 Toyota Celica, coming up 20 years this year), lawn mower (Rover - just died a few weeks back, 30 years), deep fryer (at least 30 years), coffee table (20 years plus),
stereo (20 years plus - tape decks no longer work due to perished belts) ...
Probably some other things as well.
Merry Christmas All :-)
Are you still using all that though :)Quote:

Not quite 20 years but will be next year.
Our push mower (It was 2nd hand when we bought it too back in 2001) and our washing machine and drier.
