SOWERBY BRIDGE, England, April 13 (UPI) -- A British woman said her set of heated hair rollers are still in perfect working condition after 40 years, or about 14,600 sessions.

Sue Peel, 60, of Sowerby Bridge, England, said she received the Carmen Delux Rollers as a 21st birthday present in 1971 and they have held up to daily use ever since, leading the company to declare her set the longest-lasting rollers created by Carmen, the Daily Mail reported Tuesday.

Just about EVERYTHING made "in the day" would last a WHOLE lot longer than the crap they sell us today. Today, we pay more for something that lasts approx 1 year and breaks! Go figure!
