    You’re the one with the loathing of everything, cheer up mate!

        I'm on my 2nd henry/harriet. The first was the old metal cased henry. I did change the motor on it but it eventually packed in and was no longer viable. It was probably 25 years old and had performed fantastic
        The harriet was bought as a replacement, its used for cleaning the cars, cleaning out the fire, and also for building work.

            They are also utterly indestructible, and never break down. Unlike the last Dyson we had, which broke down more times than Gwyneth Paltrow.
            Put it this way, with a Henry you could hoover up a house brick, and it would politely cough at you; show a Dyson some cat hair and it has a nervous breakdown.
            Oh, and Chard is actually in Somerset, unless you meant Chardonnay, there's a few of them in Devon...

              I stand corrected. It’s not far over the border - we sometimes go to the Tytherleigh Arms which is just down the road from there. Good food, Otter and normally an interesting gin & rum selection.

                Easy mistake, my folks are not far away, and the border meanders a bit. My dad swears by Otter and Badger, and he swears even more when neither are available...

                  I prefer Palmers 200 (or Copper) when I’m down that way, but they are from Bridport, so no chance of getting them in Devon or Zummerzet.

                      They've been in Devon for more than 20 years, trust me, that's by no means the strangest sort of thing that goes on down there...
