On the floor, under the first shelf, are three of the deep boxes for irrigation fittings (also well travelled) so this week, a little fed up of spending lots of time every day, keeping plants and trees alive by irrigation, I thought I would go in search of a couple of faulty water control units that came from Abu Dhabi and see if I could fix them. These shelving units have been around the world with me in my Garage in the UK, Spain, Abu Dhabi and now here in Dol, so have stood the test of time. Mr Marks also founded a few shops in 1894, along with Thomas Spencer. They were originally shop fittings which came from the shop which my Grandfather opened at the same time that someone called Michael Marks was selling goods for one penny in York Market (1890). The shelves even have an interesting history. They are neatly labelled so I know when I want something, which box to go to. There is little wonder that the European Directive 2012/19EU (WEEE) on waste electrical and electronic goods does not function on the island.ĭeep in one of my store rooms, I have a neat storage system with row upon row of IKEA SAMLA clear storage boxes. I think I’m a bit of a Messie…īut then trying to get the parts here to fix things takes time and a lot of effort. So I keep things that might be repairable/useful rather than just throwing useful things out. And I hate it even more when I can’t fix stuff.
