A K Type post box on Maryhill Road in Glasgow. Designed by Tony Gibbs and introduced in 1980, they were meant to be the 'post box of the future'. They didn't prove popular and by 1990, the Royal Mail had re-introduced the previous cylindrial version as an alternative. The last K type box was produced in 2001.
This was not the first failed attempt to update the humble post box. The rectangular F Type was introduced in 1968, but only lasted until 1974, when it was replaced by another rectangular one, the G Type. This proved just as unpopular and was soon phased out in favour of, you guessed it, traditional cylindical ones!
My girlfriend is a big tea drinker so I bought her this Ittala teapot as a gift. Only problem it does not appear to be able to pour hot tea (it dribbles like crazy even if you are very careful).
We tested the hypothesis that the design must have been tested with cold water and this appears to be the case. It only dribbles a bit when pouring cold water.
Typical chaos on a #Swiss#Electrical wall outlet. This is the way, one definitely does not want it but due to #BadDesign specs of #Power adapters and plugs, you’ll find things like this somewhere in every #Household. This is a huge #DesignFailure.
