'oh pity,oh pity,oh pity my plight and all those who suffer from shortness of sight'
i know the answer to the qs most above are asking- 'THEY' just want u to buy replacements.
BUT! why oh why do THEY [20/30 somethings designers] make car door handles, tv/video/sound/computer/mobile phones systems etc with miniscule controls EXACTLY the SAME COLOUR as their surroundings?
why do they have tiny BLACK controls camoflaged against a BLACK carcass?
i mean, JUST HOW r u supposed to find these controls without a bright light source & a big magnifying glass? [braille?]
its just no use to try to shop around, 'cos they're all the same!
i now have probs trying to get in & out of fiend's cars 'cos i can't find the door handle either o/s or i/s! [even when NOT under the influence of scottish wine or similar!]
more examples?
