Random musings and general banter.

I seem to recall the good physician saying today that the department store that closed in 1982 are ‘renowned watch makers’. Closed down department stores don’t make watches. When I last went in there, I bought some underpants and some lightbulbs…

Isn’t it the building that became Tower Records?
I used to like going in there.

How many years has she been doing this with never a change in her sales routine? Making Your Mind Up you come to the conclusion she lives in The Land of Make Believe. My Camera Never Lies…Give Heather a Piece of The Action. We NEED a New Beginning..

If she could do all that she’d be making big Bucks….

I have a few friends in the building and shop fitting trades- a couple from when I opened my shop back in the mid 90s.
Every one of them, no exception, uses a Henry, and they need to do some serious cleaning work. When eventually a Henry breaks, and it seems able to take a lot to break one, they simply buy another- no other make gets a look in.
If there was one cleaner I’d feel safe in recommending to anyone, it would be a Henry.

Yes I've heard the same from various people who run their own businesses and wouldn't be without a Henry or Hetty. When my ancient Electrolux finally dies I'm tempted to get a Henry

I have uploaded the wrong jacket. Teach me to be a smart arse.

I have no idea if it is the right one or not. It looks the same.

It's the same one, Regatta don't do a Renate Coat (IW's spelling) they do a Renata coat, which you've linked to. IW have probably spelt it wrong so it can't be found.

I've a Henry, had it so long can't remember when i got it, it's at least 20 year old. Replaced the hose last year (spare parts are easily available on Amazon/Ebay) and bought a turbo head as well.

For some really strange reason I disagree with almost everything sally says about that half zip fleese.

Wear against the skin nope wear with a teeshirt in case you get hot and need to take it off.
Size up if you between sizes otherwise buy you Corect size.
Nope always size up with regatta

Yes, Professor. Spot on. Swan & Edgar was still open when I joined the BTP aged 18 in 1981. I remember patrolling the passages off the circulating area at Piccadilly Circus around then and the store had window displays at that level from its main location in the street above. I cannot remember if you could gain access to the shop below ground, but apparently you could. About a year later it shut and was empty for some time before the site became a Tower Records shop.

There’s a very similar Beldray vacuum with a 600 watt motor and HEPA filter available from Asda for £24. https://direct.asda.com/george/elec...m/060011313,default,pd.html?cgid=D59M03G02C02

On a good day.

A very good evening to Mr. Mitty. And your fantasies this evening, Walter, okay? Ok…let’s start with the 40 quid vacuum that is the best you have ever sold in 40 years. Of course it is…Of course it is…
