Bryant And May.

We use safety matches to light our oven and cooker top. It is difficult on our hands and knees, trying to light the oven. We hope one day to have a new oven, but sadly it is not that simple.

I made an observation, recently when I bought the latest box of matches. I thought, I would make life a tad easier for me, that I would buy extra long matches, instead of the tiny ones, I had been buying.

The rest of my family, uses the long type lighter that uses battery. I don’t use that, as I want to save money on the batteries and the refills.

I noticed that when I took the match out of the box, that it was then the wrong way to strike it. Now all the other matches that I have ever used, the safety to strike, has been on both sides of the box, but not this box. It happened every time and then I realized why.

Because of cutbacks, I assume, they did only one side, and it is for those who were right-handed!  I am left-handed. They are made in Sweden, from sustainable Aspen trees.

I won’t be buying them again! :0)
