It immediately reminded me of 1980s waste paper bins (yes, industrial design). The shape resembles a baseball bat and it looks seriously tacky in that bling bling gold finish. Not to mention, it says nothing of what makes Britain unique in anyway. You can find examples of industrial design anywhere in the world, regardless of culture. Where's British culture in this piece of design? This is shockingly bland! Industrial design?!!!!!? It immediately reminded me of 1980s waste paper bins (yes, industrial design).

Designed, Engineered and Made in Britain. Couldn't get much better. Bravo! (The logo is slowly wearing me down. Come the Olympics I'll love it. So will the rest of you.)
