An easy job o a Henry. :)
Just a thought, if i dump a faulty electrical item I cut tecable off to discourage anyone trying to rescue it.
:)

I seem to drop on Dysons, but i did go the tip and someone had put one in the container, so i took it out and about to put it into the boot when this bloke says who works there, "what you doing with that mate?" "taking it back home whats it look like? my Mrs has asked me to throw it and I think its to good to chuck out!" "Well there was a Dyson just like that one in there around five minutes ago, and there are cameras up now, a guy got the sack from here the other week for takin stuff that had been scrapped, but anyway the police can come around to your house a do ya!"
"She was right it is a crap hoover!!" I replied and took it back again ;D ;D ;D

Part of the 'Numatic' range of industrial cleaning equipment, plastic one sold for domestic use, I have an old metal Henry (NV250) and it gets used for all the crap jobs around the garage, cars etc. :)

fair enough i just cant imagine a hoover called Henry and shes still laughin her head off at me, It must be a woman thing i think ;D ;D
-
Don't know if they still do but they used to come with a 'face' on them.
Henry is the smallest of a large range of them.
Must be having a 'sad' moment. :) :) :)
-
Just thougt, they also do a George and a charles. ;D
-
yes it has got a face, red and black and it certainly knows how to suck well

The Charles is bound to have huge ear-like hand grips, a gormless grinning expression and be manufactured by a German/Greek consortium. ;D ;D ;D

Raises some interesting legal thoughts does that: when you take stuff to the dump, at what point (if at all) do you surrender legal title to it?....at the gate?.....in the skip?....or back at th house when you decided to take it to the dump. ::)
Further; Does the Council assume legal title of dumped items?...`surely unlikely without a contract....or perhaps do the dumped items exist in a state of 'eminent domain' (where nobody legally owns them) if so, how can you be 'persecuted' for reclaiming/removing them? ::)
I know, it`s late...`just thinking out loud really ;)

Don't know all the ins and outs but our tips have people who keep it right and monitor the tipers, I believe they pay the Council for the privilege and keep the scrap. I have seen them in the skips checking through black bags in the general tip.
I put a new looking but broken 'booster pack' on the floor next to a skip, turned round to get some other stuff out of the car and it was gone.
Seem to spend half my weekends at the tip for one reason and anogher. :D :D :D

Don't complain too much, if it is less than £100.00 then it is as cheap as it was 25 years ago, though in plastic. :D :D :D

i saw one called "HETTY" in the wharehouse the other day... :P
-
Our tip is rather useless.......they hardly accept anything.
No paint tins
No old car parts (not even brake discs)
No soil
And they are like little hittlers and then wonder why they get abuse.
-
Good cleaners, Henries. We had one in our halls of residence at university. Anything which ended up on the floor and shouldn't have been there... and all sorts of things end up on the floor in a halls of residence.. :o it cleaned up without a murmur.
.. so what is the likelihood of my local dump taking a Granada Cosworth rear subframe? :-/

Not that good; but if you take a bag of scrap copper pipe/fittings there, the jobsworth`s at the dump will be all over you like a rash! ;D
-
So, I need to spray it with some copper coloured paint first. [smiley=evil.gif]

if your prepared to give the blokes a drink you can dump anything you like, my m8 took some asbestos there from an old garage he knocked down, 20 quid and it was dumped. weve been on jobs and thrown doors in the back of a dust lorry for a tenner, its not what youve got its usually what your pay.
there is also a basil, hetty henri, charles,james,hound,george,berti and dog lol also about another 40 different ranges all made by sony

Made by a company called Numatic, a British company in the Midlands, I think.

swmbo bought a sebo vacuum recently,she says its brilliant,ten times better than the dyson. i am taking her word on it ;D

Unless there has ben a take over. I used to work for Andrews Heat for Hire and we used to sell / repair Numatic stuff, got offered a Job by them whilst being wined ad dined at the Dun Cow Sedgefield, of usa president fame, till someone rang my boss and he found out. This was a while ago. :D :D :D
-
Why not?: after all, if there`s a Henrietta and all those Georges, Henries and Charles` (& Co.) they`re sure to get together in the understairs cupboard at some point. :o

Oh yes, I went through a time when I was often getting Job offers from other companies, many were from suppliers to Andrews. I was in Sales at the time but came from a Srvice background and with professional Cleaning experience cos of family business.
Point being, not only could I sell the product I could fix it knew how to get the best from it, not many reps could do that for real.
That was all a long time ago now. Doing something totally different now. :D :D :D

Perhaps they were owned by Sony ie they were from either Bridgend or the UK HQ, as in Sony bought them to clean their carpets??

Hold on just one minute. Just a few weeks ago we had a cake making thread and now a rather vacuum cleaner thread!!!
What is the world coming to????? Is Loo Knee behind this? :o :o :o
Time for another Lisa Rogers thread to redress the balance I think.
;D ;D ;D

We are just in touch with our feminine side, not to the degree of Loo-Knee though, that would be taking it too far. ;D ;D ;D
