This is not like common flu Everyone needs to be cautious of this virus old and young. The UK has become a different place in a space of 10 days. Birmingham has become a ghost town. Its like nothing we've ever experienced before. Stay safe, avoid contact and cross your fingers you don't get...

The situation is the same here in the UK. I went into ASDA on my way to work this morning as I always do on a Monday to get milk and biscuits for the office where I work. Usually there are about 10 cars in the car park and at that time in the morning only the self scan checkouts are open...

You would use the existing oval clip from your original U4014 Outer bag. You need to feed this into the stitched channel on the bottom of the replacement bag......

Can't imagine anything more dangerous than that. No hand guards and no switch release when you put it down.

That's a Canon Suction Cleaner. There is a Shires Book called "Early Electrical Appliances" and its featured in there...

So the Neptune lives on as the Zelmer Aquawelt. Just looked at the spec and they have now improved on it by making it a carpet washer and a water filter vacuum, or if you prefer it can be used with filter bags instead of using the water filter. I knew the Neptune reminded me of something...
