I always find it amusing how forceful some of the more, umm,
unreconstructed men here can get over a bloody vacuum cleaner.
But, then, I always found it amazing how some of the cheap vacs were
prepared to shout about how they were TWO THOUSAND WATT - yet if you had
to use one, they were **** at actually sucking up, except at making a lot
of heat and noise - while something like a Henry did a much better job
with half the power.
I think it's part of the knee-jerk anti-climate-change mindset. Using
less power must be a BAD thing.
