My most prized material possession is my Pure Bug DAB radio. The picture at the top is not mine, although it did used to look exactly like that.
First of all, due to the fact that my desk has been in storage for 100 years, my bedside table has become my desk. The congestion led to my bedside light melting a big dent in the outside of the fascia. This morning my son, after being repeatedly told not play with the aerial, managed to snap half the aerial off.
It looks scabby. For something that is potentially a design icon, that is designed to look as well as sound good, and something that I do actually love, this is pretty much a travesty.
I am pleased to report that it is all superficial and the functionality is unaffected, but it's youthful good looks have gone forever.
