The best thing I've ever owned in terms of design and durability has to be my throwaway Casio watches. They take you back to the 80s, are indestructible and cost next to nothing.

    I have finally found a holy grail of pepper grinders after years of ones that were totally cack.
    Made by Peugeot, it works properly and keeps on working.

    A Panasonic video player I've had for about 25 years. Still works perfectly.

    My broom. It's had 17 new heads and 14 new handles in its time.

    My Fisher Space Pen. It'll write in zero-g, at -30 degrees, underwater, but mainly just in the office.

    Apologies in advance but I read that as Fisher Price and envisaged a great big crayon.

    As you should apologise, that'd be a Crayola.

    My trusty Beretta 301. Built in 1977, it cycles just as good (and better in some cases) as any new / nearly new semi auto I've ever shot or owned and it cost me all £150.

    Two Ralph Lauren long sleeve cotton shirts a colleague bought for me in New York in the early 90's. Such quality, nothing like the crap you get these days from outlet stores and the like. One pink and one lilac, still wear them today.

    One used to be red and the other purple.

    Heard the story about how the Yanks spent millions on designing a pen that would write in space - the Russians just used pencils!!

    A number of my watches (they are my guilty pleasure) by a certain Swiss brand. Supremely engineered, faultless quality and classic timeless designs.

    My loft ladder. Simple and effective.

    Now things get put away and retrieved when they should and not put off until I can be bothered to venture to the garage find the step ladder take upstairs and then do that in reverse.

    Not exciting but does a job welll.

    Probably my car. I still haven't the faintest idea how it works over and above a steering wheel and pedals that you press with your feet.
