Right... So Who Can Beat This?

I think l have been shamed, especially on Christmas Day, when my daughter invited me to play, ‘What’s this remote control on the window sill for’?
She had been looking for the Apple TV remote and found these various remotes on her search.
These were the ones, she found in my lounge. I didn’t dare mention there were eight other remotes in the other rooms!!

So l challenge you all, how many remotes do you have in your homes?
Admittedly, some of mine are from units, l have thrown out!!

I can challenge you with my collection of hair straighteners. I was clearing a cupboard and filled a whole box. I honestly think these things multiply somehow.

We've only got one and it goes missing quite a lot.

If I had kept all the remotes I've had for defunct units plus the ones I have now there would be at least 20

Re: Right... So Who Can Beat This?

I have a few....two for the TV I need two because one won't do some things the other will....one won't access Prime the other won't access Netflix and only one of them talks to the sound bar....its all very confusing but I'm used to it. Also I have one that controls the Velux windows another that controls blinds another that controls central heating and finally another that turns on candle type things in a lantern. I also have a drawer with a few defunct ones in but I have long ago forgotten what they were for but I keep them ....just in case
