Lifetime guarantees are not worth the paper they are printed on. A lifetime
guarantee means the product is guaranteed for its lifespan - ie until it
goes wrong. THis is basically saying "We guarantee this product will remain
frree from manufacturing or workmanship defects until somethig goes wrong
with it, because then it's lifespan is over so it's no longer guaranteed."
What a waist of time that is. Check out the local trading standards office
(or whatever your contries equivelent is if you're not in the UK) and ask
them about Lifetime guarantees - it sure surprised me when I did!
