| 166 reviews for a toaster? |
Song Choice:- I love the phone call section the end of this
track which leads into the awesome 'Comfortably Numb'...(blogging song
tomorrow) which is one of the three stand out tracks from the whole Wall Album
in my opinion along with 'Run like Hell and 'Young Lust' where Roger Waters,
let David Gilmour in on the writing. Although in later times they would
disagree and fall out with each other dramatically, their music created
together is just pure genius.
Anyway, less of the Floyd's history and more of the lyric as
there are so many people nowadays prepared to offer opinion on virtually
everything. As an example, I've just picked a random toaster on the Argos
Website the De'Longhi CTJ4003 - 4 Slice Toaster, to be precise and
there are 166 reviews on it. Ranging from one star - 'The worst purchase ever' to
five stars - 'Probably the best toaster ever'. Why oh why are people reviewing
a bloody toaster?
As they've already bought it...if it's no good, you could
just take it back, that's the guarantee that the manufacturer offers. Also how
good are a range of reviews when you get a worst and best toaster since sliced
bread spectrum of opinions. Whom do you listen to? The internet has made our
lives far more complicated I believe.
What happened to good old common sense when Rotel, Pioneer and
Wharfedale made pretty good hi-fi that could amplify a Pink Floyd in 1978 to bedroom
ear bleeding decibel levels that we knew Amstrad simply (and rather
embarrassingly if you owned up to having one) erm… wouldn’t. Sadly in 2015 it’s now
months of research and nothing less than 5 stars in What HiFi is going to be good
enough for even a pair of headphones. Who knows what they were listening to and
it’s a worry though as the person reviewing it could also have been a toaster
tester…and heavily in Lisa Stansfield.
Why don’t you go through life making your own judgements and
going with your gut instincts. If it’s cheap, it’s not going to be much cop and if it turns out
wrong, you can always do it again – properly. That’s what life’s all about.
Learning from YOUR mistakes not others perhaps…
