Don't worry, it happens with the expensive shit too.

I've read the law, thank you.


--- Quote ---All goods (at least sold in UK) must be fit for purpose and last a reasonable amount of time.
--- End quote ---

Yes, that is essentially what the law says, as I said..


--- Quote ---For me, it does not matter how cheap the scope is, I expect it to least AT LEAST 1 year (unless they specifically state that there is a time limit on how long it will last) preferably longer.
--- End quote ---

And I don't disagree, but that does not equate to 'goods must work for 1 year'.


--- Quote ---You are definutely entitled to a repair or replacement.
--- End quote ---

If they are able..


--- Quote ---You do not need to prove the scope was faulty when sold, that is not what you descibed.
The scope has now developed a fault - in my view it has not lasted a reasonable amount of time.

--- End quote ---

You need to prove the fault was not created by your usage, fair wear and tear, modification, and so forth. Your link even states this:

--- Quote ---When goods are faulty, if you return them within six months, then it's up to the shop to prove they weren't faulty when you bought them. After this, the burden of proof shifts and it's up to you to prove they were faulty when you bought them.

I'll hear no more bad spoken of Amazon. They're clearly very very caring, because they even took the time to package each SINGLE 95g "Dairy Milk" chocolate bar I bought (on the same order) in its own individual card envelope... :palm: :-DD :-//

Yeah, and that's why all this "environmentally friendly" horse sh##, when parroted by corporations, is precisely that.

There's a term "greenwashing" that seems to apply   :rant:

I wouldn't be surprised if they put each one in those envelopes upon receiving, before putting them on the shelf. Probably had too many problems with them getting broken.
