This was all over Brighton today. Good old Argus.

And the British complain that ‘imagrants’ can’t speak the language?!

Perverted vacuum cleaners

There is really nothing I can add to the beauty of this typo. Enjoy.

This vacuum cleaner did a fantastic job of cleaning traditional wood flooring, sucking up dust and dirt from cervices with ease.  It comes with a separate hard-floor nozzle, but we found the standard one to be the most effective.

Oh. My. God. This made me spit tea. But the thing is, once you’ve been exposed to dusty cervices, your mind gets into a certain groove – a dark, dark groove. It continues:

It didn’t quite mange to match this outstanding performance on carpet and laminate, but it still did a great job. [Mmm, mange.]

The nozzle is designed well for reaching dust and dirt alongside walls and in corners so you won’t find a dirty rim around the edge of the room after you’ve finished vacuuming.

Pshhhht! Well I may as well just pour my tea directly on the keyboard, seeing as that’s where it’s going anyway.

So, here goes. Three pages of vacuum cleaners down, 33 to go. Who knows what icky delights they may hold.
