Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Upgraded to a 'Handheld - Dyson V8 Absolute Pro' just after Christmas. I'll give it 5* too. Haven't even needed to switch to 'Max' yet.

Our 3 yr old previous 'Handheld - Dyson DC35 MutiFloor' is still in absolutely excellent condition. I'll give it 4*. We take care of all of our stuff and this for example, is kept scrupulously clean and has its filter washed regularly too. It was immediately spoken for in that my daughter has quickly nabbed it for her caravan before I can sell it on.

Anyone think we could start a 'MoneyAM Classifieds' thread? I reckon we could sell our used PCs, monitors and other stuff, like Dysons on it and maybe even more. Perhaps, we might need a moderator (volunteer?) for it if and when it became fairly popular.

my beloved won't touch dyson .... she reckons they're rubbish - too expensive, too heavy and (i think) likely to throw dust everywhere when you empty them

Certainly heavy

and expensive, and rubbish :) Good marketing though. I think a pink Hetty would be just the job for that caravan EL. Student proof.

I'm really impressed with my cleaner. She only charges 13 € an hour.

:-)

She obviously brings her own vac' then, Hils. Yes? No?

Fortunately for us, our cleaners don't charge the other anything. However, we do show lots of appreciation.

I think we've got one somewhere, Doc, but I've no idea what it's called.

The DT gave the new BBC drama McMafia a bit of a slating yesterday. I had recorded the first episode and didn't find it that bad. Likes to travel a lot so a bit like the Night Manager in that respect. Anything that holds my attention more than 10 minutes is worth a few stars from me. Very few US programs get more than a minute. At least to my taste, european made tv drama is streets ahead.

hils - an indication of how damn expensive switzerland is

mcmafia - perhaps not quite as good as the night manager, and can be somewhat confusing, but i think it's great

Coming back to the Dysons...you need the lightweight models.....they are the ones to pick....

if you are not picky. Overpriced and overhyped.
On more important matters, I had the misfortune to drive through Slough yesterday and was twice nearly collected by Asian "drivers" - maybe graduates from the Karachi School of Motoring. Once when I had to turn right on a mini-roundabout and the oncoming bearded wonder clearly had never learnt when to give way and the other when a burkha-clad woman, who could scarely see over the dashboard, decided to do a U turn. Now I have a thing about burkhas, but surely they must impair vision when driving.

come friendly bombs and fall on slough; it is not fit for humans now; rain on death

==============

btw, much more likely to be a hijab (or a variation thereof) which does not impede the vision at all, and is the most common form of head covering worn by muslim women

Definitely a burka. Now banned in much of Europe, let alone for driving. I have no issue with the hijab, but as usual we trail the EU in many matters. Sopping wet politicians.

full burka covers everything including the eyes - i'm sure it would be illegal to drive while wearing same!

half-way house is a niqab where the eyes are left uncovered

Niqab then. But whereas the Niqab has a veil head cover, this one was wearing the pot associated with a burka, without the eye cover.

Would driving a AI vehicle with a full burka be any difference to being in one as a passenger with the left wing confused posters on here, that fume when talking about the Rees-Mogg`s of this world, that can at least remain calm when confronted by left wing Labour bigots that want to promise everything, have no idea how to pay for anything and would drive the country down the road of ruin, if they were every to be elected to the offices of running the country.

Iturama,

"as usual we trail the EU in many matters."

Hmmm. :o)

I tell you what...driving you can't see a thing with a Burka turned sideways on.....

..euhhh...please don't ask what I get up to......

You feeling ok rf? Best lie down for a while.

I am not a regretful Brexiteer Hilary, I would still vote out, but I recognise that the Commission has done some good work with standards and competition. Also that there are many politicians in the EU with more backbone than our spineless lot. Much of what we complain about is entirely within our own power to resolve, if we had the will, but the mass immigration encouraged by Blair and his ilk has made it politically a lot more difficult. That was the intent.
