Just wasted 20 minutes of my life looking at shitty burners. Nostalgic yes. Any good? No.
Yes they may have been shit. But to be honest everything from that era was poo and broke.
For me the burner is an icon. It was where I begun my a Facebook group. I have never been more proud than when I went out on my mk1 super tuff burner for the first time. It was the dogs dangleys compared to my 3 speed grifter.
All those pics remind me of going into Bedford town centre into the beehive. A big department store, what happened to big department stores? They had every level of burner lined up for sale and I used to go in just to drool over them.
The department store has long gone now. It is a shopping centre with over 30 shops now. So you can imagine the size of the place. But the little burner is going strong.
