Your Top 5 Best Gadgets?

    I watched Stephen Fry's "100 Best Gadgets" the other day. It was a good show - I wasn't expecting the humble lighter to be No.1, but it in many ways it makes sense - especially for smokers like me!

    Got me thinking as to what my personal top 5 best gadgets would be, based on how much I use them or how useful they are to me.

    So here they are:

    1. The Laptop
    2. The kettle
    3. The coffee percolator
    4. The lighter
    5. The mobile phone

    What would your top five be?
