the Bottle has a much narrower neck than the last model, it lasted about
a week before I started getting a spray from the top of the thing, turns
out the bottle had split in the neck.

Somewhat in the same vein, I have a general rule never to buy anything
which has words to the effect "New, improved (whatever)..." on it. That is
because it always fails to meet the second criterion.


I always take it to mean improved for the manufacturer or seller, ie, it's
cheaper to make = more profit.

Or some of the faults have been ironed out!!

Years ago my Step Mother bought a new car, 'latest model'. Forgotten which
make or model, but I have a funny feeling it was the very first of the Ford
Cortina which would put it in the very early 1960's. It was well before she
sold the hotel anyway. That car was so bad, was back in the garage so many
times and because it was obvious she would be relating the tale of woe to
hundreds of visitors, that Ford took it back and gave her another one. I
believe she changed makers after that!!
