Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

What do you know today, that you did not yesterday?

That there are still Dixons stores which sell Matsui items (I though they only existed in airports now).

To be fair though, I have a Matsui microwave which is maybe 15 years old and still working. Maybe things were made in Japan back then?

I had a Matsui TV - it lasted about 3 days before it broke and I took it back - I think I swapped it for a Sony.

They never were made in Japan, despite using a rising sun logo. Legal case in the 1980s.

That candied giant (chinese) hawthorn berries on a stick are a thing, and a delicious thing, too.
