only a matter of time before someone threw that piccy together.

(when did Henry the vacuum cleaner get a face. excellent marketing)

He has always had a face, he was, and may still be available in, metal and the face came as stickers to pu on by the seller.  The plastic, domestic, version came out in the early 80s and the company I worked for tested it by kicking it down the stairs to see how strong it was...    In 1983 the Metal Henry was £100, iirc the plastic one was about £80, the same price as they are today......   I have an old metal one in the garage, been abused for many years, gets all the crap jobs, and just keeps on going, great piece of kit.....

numatic who make henry did an industrial one it was the size of a dustbin...now that was a piece of kit it would suck a medicine ball through a straw the beast

reminds me of a girl in Dundee I knew once

What a pair of sexist B**strd* Andy Gray and Richard Keys are. If she is up to date with the washing and ironing, the beds are made, the dusting and hoovering is done, the kids are fed and dressed and in school, my dinners been made, my beers been poured AND the tellys on the right channel them let her have a go at running the line. Just so long as she's back to cook my tea.
