R.I.P. OcUK..

this is typical of modern products these days, honestly, they're all up to it.

wether it be lack of updates, replacement parts or just plain shoddy workmanship in this case it's plain these companies are getting greedy.

they build these things for a tiny cost, sell them for maximum profit and make sure it only just lasts until the new version comes out and they can get you to buy the newest one.

honestly, tell me why no set of earphones lasts longer than 2 years hmm? good ones too not £5 ones off amazon. i'll tell you why it's because after 2 years they want me to buy a new set.

i'd expect this kind of tactic from microsoft or apple, but i'm really saddened to see ocuk getting in on this "preplanned obsolescence" cabal, really had hopes they had higher standards than that but i guess i was wrong :(

but of course, although not really "pre programmed", just the coating is designed that after a certain amount of wear it'll go very smooth and slippery hence leading it to be dropped on the floor.

I'd up the anti & take in a Help For Heroes mug. If they try to ban it casually mention 'The Sun' newspaper is very supportive of 'Help For Heroes'
Or an IDF mug

Why would they ban a Dad's Army mug at work. Where do you work, North Korea? That is practically a human rights abuse, make a formal complaint. Use the word 'triggered' a lot:D
