My kettle and toaster are over 30 years old. They're stainless steel
and black plastic in a modern style, so look contemporary even now.

The only thing I've has to fix to replace the indicator neon in the
kettle about 10 years ago.

Kenwood, for that that's worth in this age of branding Chinese junk.

I knew someone who finally ditched their 1957 fridge in 2000. Bemoaning

Then I asked how much it had cost in 1957. The answer was around £2000
in today's money.
