Well done James!

Well done James, famous at last, same as Jack.

I've just mentioned on Facebook that I've gone into hiding in case they find me; in other words I'm now buried amongst the Hoovers, there's so many of them...

Thanks guys

Thanks for that guys.
I only got the call from the BBC at 10am that morning after they heard my radio interview that morning on the BBC radio Notts.
Hopefully I'm in the Nottingham Evening Post on monday to.

I am finally in my own shop that I set up by my self where the interview was done in the video.

I've taken the pics of my collection off here and will have them on my own website with my other non kirby's I have on display in my shop.
So since I got a bit bigger shop than I thought I put my vacs on display for the public to view.

Will let u know my website once its all complete for you all.

Thanks again for your messages.

James

Good Luck James!

Good luck with the shop James; it reminds me about the days when I had a shop, started in 1995 - 'Vac Attack'!

I used to get a lot of Hoover Turbos and 500 series in for repair at one time, followed by Dysons. Then I branched out into mowers, one of my other interests, since the market seemed to favour them in my area, plus I now had better transport, essential for collecting the machines and parts! I had a separate sign for that, Flixton Mowers.

My main income used to be from repairs, somewhat less from reconditioned machines and even less on new stuff.
