[QUOTE="SneakyWet, post: 142259, member: 679"] So much Information to take in! You guys really are crazy about your vacuums, aren't you? It's chuffing marvellous! I remember, as a kid, pushing one of those 'Friction Driven' vacs around, at my late Grand mamma’s. I was getting completely carried away and racing it around, like a Formula one driver. I smashed straight into a birdcage, which was on a stand, knocking it over and the bird escaping. (I think it was a rare bird, but I can't remember for the life of me what it was, but I didn't like the thing) It flapped around the dining room, defecating on everything, including me and escaped out of an open window. I blamed it on my Grand mama’s dog, NigNog, (I'm not sure you could get away with that name anymore!) who my Grandpapa then chased round the house, beating him with a broom shouting "Bloody NigNog, We should send you back from where we got you, bloody NigNog!" It's something I haven't thought about for years, but just came to me! Happy, funny memories. I guess that brandished vacuums into my brain at an early age. I think I quite like the idea of collecting one brand, so am going to spend the next few days/weekend looking at different manafacturers. Also, I didn't realize this was an American site! I think making it to the convention may be a bit out of my way, since I live in sunny England! Cheers again for all the advice, so far! Andrew Hugh-John [/QUOTE]
