Hi there, Paul!
Welcome to the other mad house!

My apologies for not seeing this sooner, though Mr Stubbs did inform me of the excitement surrounding this machine.
It’s certainly a very nice machine, and whilst my knowledge of Hoovers is lacking in many ways, I do remember these models distinctly, though I tend to remember little details. I guess, like many of us, it was looking through catalogues, picking up brochures and going into shops to look at them!
As others have said, this is in fantastic condition!
Rob and Paul, I hope you have a lot of fun with this and others, and it was very interesting to see the Electron, too, as I do of course like my white goods, too.

Well, actually, if it has a plug on it, I like it – TVs, DVD players, computers, satellite, cable, other digital TV receivers, hi-fi gear...

To be honest, I know more about consumer electronics like TVs and hi-fi gear than I do vacuum cleaners and white goods, but Seamus, Rob, Jack and others are teaching me, though it must be terribly frustrating for them, especially when I tend to ask Seamus about 20 questions one after the other! LOL

However, I love love love vacuum cleaners and white goods just as much, if not more so in pretty much every way.
Finally, Rob and Seamus, although I do like Dysons, I am not as keen on the DC07 as I am on other models, as you may remember my documenting the problems with it, though I’m hoping newer DC07s may be better, especially with regard to the extra cyclones at the top clogging.
Anyway, I shall leave it there.

My, this thread has been a very interesting read.
I’ve come down with a mouth/throat infection, so I might be offline for a bit or seemingly not replying to messages on here, but I hope to remain on MSN. Boooo! LOL

Once these antibiotics kick in – they’ve started already – I should be somewhat better.

Mum to the rescue again – she often spots something is wrong with me, by looking out for other symptoms, before I do, even though I’m very careful.

Going out the other day has probably weakened me, so I’m lumbered with his! Grrrr!
Anyway, I thought I’d quickly mention it here in case I’m away for a bit.

Sorry for the medical update that others might not want to see! Hehe
And, Paul, don’t you go getting any ideas about trying to compete with me in terms of how long messages are! hehe
Rob, Paul, Seamus, Jack, I shall speak to you soon, and hello to anyone who hasn’t yet spoken to me.
Take care.
Regards,
Carl
