That reminds me, my first pair of Brasher hiking boots. Many years of total comfort up mountains, through streams, sun and snow. wind and rain. Brilliant ! I just wish the pair I got to replace them after ripping the leather under a pallet truck was as good, as I now suffer blisters

My house, just 7 weeks ago.

Cant quite believe it, but I'm sitting here in my living room and there's an Osprey sitting in a tree in the field opposite (confirmed with the binocs). Fantastic

I bought a Victorinox SwissChamp pocket knife back in 1989 with my first wage packet and is used regularly to this day. I can honestly say it's been the most dependable and useful tool I've ever bought for all those small jobs and quick fixes.

Scratching me head on this one, because as corny as it sounds the best things in life are (almost) free, but

1) Holidays with my wife and mates over the years

2) My first proper fast car (scoob)

3) My house

4) At the moment, my hifi and home cinema which I'm really enjoying and is becoming an addictive hobby

Got lots of VERY cool recording studio equipment, but in all fairness, they're just tools that assist me in getting the job done.

Let me think......

The wife's engagement ring - that was the chain-reaction to pretty much everything I've got and hold dear now.

Which makes it the best, most significant, and the most value for money!!!

Technically we didn't buy her, we made a contibution to the rescue centre she came from, but that's just splitting hairs
