Hi, I must tell you about our new vacuum cleaner. Our old one was getting too heavy for us to manoeuvre. It was a mains operated one and times many Victoria got the mains lead wrapped around her feet and finished up vacuuming the ceiling instead of the floor. Well, I bought her a ???? I don't know whether I'm allowed to advertise on here so I will just say that I bought her the top of the range. She opened the box it came in, which I must say was a big disappointment because for what it cost I had expected it to be wrapped in gold foil.
"Where's the mains lead?" Victoria asked and simultaneously screwing up her face. She had to screw it up because, like me, she is getting on and bits are starting to come loose. To give you an idea of what I am talking about, her nose fell off and is now somewhere in the new vac. I told her it was battery operated and that it didn't need a mains lead. She was overjoyed with her new toy. It has a very strong suction. VERY STRONG. Well, to tell you the truth, the third time she used it she put the battery in upside down and instead of sucking it blew. She was last seen doing a figure of eight round Blackpool Tower. She did have the agility to get control of the thing and managed to guide it down to the Liverpool to Sheffield canal. She is now safely home. I know you might think I'm doolally but this a true story. Well, most of it is. Actually, her nose isn't in the vac, it rolled under the settee.
