    Comma after product. And a thing is either useless or useful, no almost about it, so that’s a needless word to be omitted.

    The little hex thing for tightening the screws.
    Too many extra screws...................either they give you none or they give you too many.

    Leaflets full of patronising warnings and turgid accreditation details.

    If the product needs operating advice and instructions fine; but all those Notified Body references are not much use to me as the user! We have to pay for them because the manufacturer has to pay for the costly regulatory assessments behind all those arcane code-numbers, CE-mark and the like.

    If it's a food.... If I happened to be allergic to peanuts, I would know not to buy peanut-butter. Of course it contains peanuts, albeit pulverised peanuts. I don't need a warning on the label that it contains what its name alone says it contains!
