I like nothing more than recording Coronation Street on a VHS tape. Sure, I have Sky+ and a recording hard drive. But nothing beats the clunky, unportable feel of a proper retro cassette tape.
I have lots of time on my hands too, so I enjoy having to tug out the excess film, that has got stuck in my video recorder. My holiday footage is disposable anyway, so why not store it on an ancient, unreliable format, with an abundant backlog of failed recordings?
I take a satchel with me everywhere anyway, so why should I not fill it with a massively oversized cassette tape, that records a whopping 2 hours of poor quality media?
