Bikes
- Cateye bicycle lights
- Cateye Astrale wired cadence cycle computer: all the information I need and nothing more
- '98 Specialized Stumpjumper: My balance is useless and this bike is the only one I can ride comfortably without holding the handlebars. I forever feel like I'm going faster that I really am. Solid steel frame made in Japan, zero suspension
- Brooks saddles
- Brompton folding bicycles. No other bike folds up so naturally.
Kitchen equipment
- My current Kenwood Kmix Kettle [0] is the best designed / most solid / prettiest I've used so far. The main down issue is that it's made in China. The handle is stainless steel - so won't break over the years. Very nice shape and lovely colours.
- Kenwood Major mixers. Especially old ones, but even the modern Chinese made ones are still good quality.
- Dualit stainless steel toaster [1]. Simple lever mechanism for putting the bread in, simple dial timer. Served as a toaster in my University halls and always worked and easy to use whilst hungover.
Other
- Pentel refill leads and the parellelgram shaped packets they come in. (Made in Japan still)
- I was a fan of the Pentel automatic pencils back in school - the black 0.5mm one, but I kept losing them.
- Maglite torches. Tried buying a fancy ass Thrunite mega-lumens torch, but I prefer the simplicity of Maglite.
