Why are Armitage Shanks still in business?
They've been making lavatory bowls and urinals for God knows how long, probably well over a century and maybe two. Practically every loo bowl you see has "Armitage Shanks" emblazoned across it.
But how often does a toilet bowl break? Or get lost or stolen? It's not like dropping a mug, or smashing a plate. Loo bowls are practically indestructible, and of course stuck firmly in place.
That means, aside from a few damaged in fires and earthquakes, there must by now be enough toilet bowls for every man, woman, and child on the planet, and thus no need for any more.
So you'd think Armitage Shanks would have run out of customers by now, and closed down. But not a bit - They're still going strong. I guess I'll never get my head round economics
