I'm actually looking forward to when we recycle our Dyson, because I assume that it will then be given to an African village and turned into a water purification plant.<br /><br />I've found that the best thing about them is the transparent dust container.

To be English, and display "ingenuity" in design, is a brilliant marketing strategy.Sam Vegahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05978971199859845931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481298417819219839.post-61986981179030571172014-02-16T19:13:16.579+00:002014-02-16T19:13:16.579+00:00I'm afraid that's why he's a squillion...I'm afraid that's why he's a squillionaire!<br /><br />The whole twirly suction idea is a puff as far as I can see.<br /><br />I assume he got some gummint funding...<br /><br />...from labour of course, they love scams.Scrobs.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12942449871600526680noreply@blogger.com
