Everything that I have baught from ebay in the last 5 years has been manufactured in china from substandard materials and has either broken not worked or fallen to pieces after a few days......All the polution caused to make this crap is causing my climate in cornwall to behave very oddly!!!

Any thaughts?

just a bit of a rant but as an example recently baught a lighter i was so fed up buying them from tesco's and  other outlets in packs of 3 that didnt work 1 pack 2 of the lighters kept the flame on after i had taken my thumb away a bloody death trap....french lighters made in china...So i decided to try to find a good one to keep my roll ups allight i found a "outdoor  all purpose dont blow out in the wind lighter for a tenner    GREAT  so i baught it ...It works with a little tungstone fillament in it so no matter how windy the fillament when glowing red hot will keep the gas ignited....Guess what...Made in china and filiment burnt out/vapourised in 3 days...
