I am constantly amazed at what weird /unheard-of/ downright cheap 'n'
nasty-sounding "brand" names continually pop up on the front of 'brown'
goods like TVs,Videos and stereos. Most of the culprits appear in large
national supermarket and electrical stores. So, here are some of the
tackiest I have found so far (UK and Europe). (NB. Most of the
equipment also lived up to its tacky name by being either of low
quality or impossible to find service / & parts info.) Anyone else got
names to add to the list?
