Domestic calamity!

[DysonAnimal]

An inadvertently amusing passage from 1934's edition of 'On Judging a Vacuum Cleaner': Hoover's Marketing Dept. compares the purchase of an electric cleaner with the purchase of an ugly hat...

Yes, but will the vacuum look pretty on your head!?

 

[truckerx]

Perhaps it could end up on one's head in the event of a domestic quarrel.....(smile)

My Gran was terrible..

for taking things like hats back that didn't appeal quite as much once she got them home. Perhaps that's why she did so much shopping at Marks and Spencers..

The only time I've been hit on the head by a vacuum..

cleaner is when I had so many in my garage, they fell down on top of me and tried to bury me. It's as well they were'nt switched on at the time..but we've all seen the film of the Convertible that comes on by itself..?
