At any point during the pandemic have you been left infuriated by failing technology?

Maybe your video calls with loved ones kept breaking up, or you kept losing on your games console?

Well soon you'll have a chance to take a hammer to it like you've always wanted, with so called demolition therapy reportedly coming to Bristol.

The company Electrical Direct is offering people the chance to smash pieces of broken tech up with impunity for half an hour. The sessions will cost £50 for two people.

Announcing the news on their website they say they're offering you the chance "to take out your lockdown stress on a load of old, useless technology that deserves total destruction".

"While we normally promote fixing things with consumables and tools, this is your chance to destroy them," they say.

"We’ve gathered a load of broken tech and a series of things to smash it with.

"What happens next is up to you."

All the pieces of kit available to smash will already be broken to avoid unnecessary wastage.

"Technology doesn’t care how you feel," they say.

"You shouldn’t care how it feels either, as you pull it apart with a crowbar."

The sessions are set to be available in several cities across the UK but exactly where hasn't been revealed yet.
