Chris how's your neighbours dc14?
I don't know, I don't live there anymore. I moved last April.
Ok, this is going back like 20 years now, so bear with me. At one point I knew what vacuum was in every house. Our street when I was growing up looked something like this:
Hoover Turbopower Junior U1222
Panasonic MC-E44 (this was us!)
Hoover Junior 1346 (brown)
Hoover Turbopower U2602
Hitachi Powerhouse CV460D
Hoover Turbopower Boost U2716
Panasonic MC-E53
Electrolux z2030
Hoover Turbopower Junior U1220
Hitachi CV760D
Electrolux z1070 Turbo2
Then the house around the cul-de-sac at the top of the road went:
Hoover Turbomaster U5096
Goblin Rio Reflex
Electrolux Contour z1460
Hoover Turbolite
Hoover Aquamaster
Back down the other side:
Hoover Turbopower 2 basic
Electrolux Twin Turbo z561
Hoover Turbopower U2194
Hoover Junior 1346A (blue)
Electrolux 560
Hoover Turbopower U2602
Panasonic MC-E41
Vax 2000
Hoover Junior (I don't remember much about this one. I think it was a recon)
Goblin Laser
Panasonic MC-E41
I start to lose track at this point. This is where there was a bend in the road and there was a gap in the houses, so I never really went that way much.
A lot of these were replaced whilst I was still living there and people moved too. There was a wave of Hoover Turbopower 2's for a while, then Dyson and other bagless vacs started coming in.
The first Dyson was, I think, next door to us. The lady with the Hoover U1222 died and when her house was sold, the family that moved in had a DC01 Antarctica Solo. Then the house over the road from us that had the Z561 got a DC04 Silver Lime. I forget after that.
Where we lived was a 1950's estate. A lot of families who had kids that I was at school with, so I could start naming vacuums from random houses 5 streets away, but I think that's taking it too far

I don't talk to my neighbours as I can't speak Hindi or Cantonese.
Ah cool!
You live/lived in Otley I think it was? There's a chance your neighbour sold her DC14 several months ago in Otley. Same model, lol. It never stood up so. I messaged her on how to fix it. She replied to me with something like this;
"man, I love you and want to have your babies. Just tried it and it worked perfectly. Will you marry me?!"

No, I lived in Baildon (not far from Otley). I now live in Utley, which sounds a bit like Otley and isn't far away, but it isn't Otley
I still frequent Baildon as my folks are there.
My neighbour's DC14 was constantly breaking, but she wasn't half rough with it. She'll have to do something with it though, it had bad bearings this time last year so god knows what it sounds like now.

Do you mean "Ilkley Moor Baht 'at"? "Baht 'at" actually means "without a hat".
But yes, we're near Ilkley.
"Ee bah gum" is an expression, not a place, and nobody has said it in 300 million years. My grandad used to say it ALL the time. Along with the word "hark".

I do like it up there. It's a beautiful county South Yorkshire is a bit more industrialised ( there's a big word) But the Dales n Moors and York are lush.

Isn't it just? I love the fact that 10 minutes walk away from our house and you're in open country side and upto the Yorkshire dales, but then 25 minutes in the other direction (easilly accessible by train and bus) is Leeds (where I work) and Bradford. It's like the perfect balance between country and city living, having both a short distance away.
Equally, Wales has some gorgeous countryside and Cardiff is a lovely city! I just cannot get to grips with those North Wales roads - "No motorways? Windie country roads all the way? Get real, did we lose a war!?"
South Yorkshire has some bloody weird places in it!

Leave our street, up to the main road, cross over, 5 minutes walk and this is where you find yourself

Chrism what do u think of Brum?
I've only been to Birmingham a few times. I remember the Christmas market was on and the city was PACKED. Definitely a live wire of a place to be and a fun place to visit. Not sure I'd want to live there though.
Also, Birmigham New Street station is actually hell on earth.
