Henry Hoover. Which we shouldn't say but we do. I have a Henry. Over the years I've tried others. But the only one that really works is Henry.

I had no idea he was British. Didn't realise they never advertised. Have no PR. Amazing success story. And I hadn't seen him in the daft Conference Room at No. 10 either. But he's there. Great article all about him.

My Henry has just gone to a local charity shop.
I’ve had him for years but it was him or me, a battle to see which of us would give up the ghost first.

I won as despite loving him, and his little red face being for the most part the only one that I saw regularly, he was too damn HEAVY !

I just don’t have enough strength to drag him about so he’s been replaced by a cheapo cylinder. Very lightweight but one I can manage.

R.I.P Henry - I hope whoever bought you appreciated the two lots of unopened bags that went with you ?
