My daughter recently offered me her unwanted Henry hoover as she's invested in a G-Tech, the up-to-date battery-powered appliance sweeping the nation.
Since we already have a Henry - one of those small droid-like units with a pipe - I declined the offer. I'm sure Drerek Meddings and co would have said yes and found a perfectly sensible new use for the vacuum cleaner on Thunderbirds!
In fact I'm pretty sure that there are some recycled Hoover parts somewhere in Thunderbirds. Does that ring a bell?
Speaking of vacuum cleaners I recently saw a system in a Stately Home which took vaccing to a whole new level and it was installed decades ago!
Basically a suction system had been built into the interior walls of the house and in order to access this suction flexible pipes could be inserted into one of the many holes located just above the skirting boards on each floor.
I for one was impressed although it was unclear where all the stately dust went!
As a kid I used to enjoy pushing round our Ewbank, a sort of powerless brush on wheels. I also had a small toy hoover as well I think. For some reason the words Bex Bissall are floating round my head as well. What was that?
Have you got a Ewbank, a droid-like Henry unit or an upright Hoover?
