A few weeks ago, I sent my 1985 Swiss Army Knife back to Victorinox for a broken blade replacement.

It came back today, fully repaired, cleaned, polished, lubricated and in a new box.

Total cost: £10 + return postage.

They sent the knife back with an invoice. I didn't have to pay a penny before the job was done.

A product that's been out of production for almost 40 years, repaired at very little cost by the original manufacturer.

I'm stunned. Happy, impressed, grateful and stunned.

It feels like a good time to say this again:

One of the most liberating acts of self-care I've ever discovered is to not have an opinion on everything.

Almost the entire Internet has become a machine whose primary purpose is to polarise opinion and monetise outrage.

Not having an opinion is an act of rebellion!

Pineapple on pizza: no opinion
Meghan and Harry: no opinion
Sam Smith's gender: no opinion
ST vs Amiga: no opinion

Whatever makes you happy as long as it doesn't hurt other people.

FREE VINTAGE H-FI!

Anyone #UK based want these? There's a Nakamichi Receiver 1 and a CD Player 3 which were both in rotation as part of my main system until this morning.

The #CD is a 6 disc with a high end transport and DACs. The receiver is weighs as much as a small hatchback and has enough amp inputs/power for even the most avid collector of #audio gear.

I can't (won't!) ship these, but if you can collect them from me (J4 or J5 M40) ASAP then they're all yours for £0.00.
