Honey I shrunk the Cat !!!

Post by Fordoholic Nick »

So anyway yesterday while the wife was at work, and before I went off to work on a late shift, I thought I would put the winter quilt away in storage as we swapped it for the lighter tog rating. Job done and a good one. So, I phoned Mrs F from work last night as I always do and just before I was going to tell her about the quilt she seemed very worried as the neighbours cat who pretty much lives with us now was nowhere to be seen. "Where did you see him last ?" I asked, "oh he crawled into the winter quilt for a doze" :shock: "he does that sometimes" she added :shock: :shock:

So, you may wonder where this is leading....well this is what I did to the quilt.... :o

:lol: :lol: :lol: Dont worry the cat is ok, just joking !!

But on a more serious note Jason told me he had me down as a Dyson man rather than Miele Cat & Dog !! So this had me thinking I wonder if there is any link to what hoover make/,model we have to what Capri we own.

So if anyone wants to play ( prob no one :lol: ) then please feel free to state what hoover you own so I can get some vital research stats :sleepy: :sleepy: :sleepy:

Dont worry I wont be offended if you dont play along :lol:

So I have a Miele Cat & Dog and a 2.0 Pinto Laser :)

Ahh....another vote for dyson and another Pinto owner....hmmm....interesting....

If I get enough market research done I will pass my results/conclusions onto CCI so they can add hoovers to their mail shop....but somehow I think my market research might not get out of single figures..... :lol:

Just thinking nick , the west side of the U.K. seem very quiet on this subject and the 2.8 boys I wonder if it’s dustpan & brush ?

Good answer peter :lol:

Also had Henry’s at work back in the day I had to put one out with a fire extinguishers because the cleaner hovered up a ash tray with a fag in it . The good old days :lol: thank god they have a bag in them as the hover still worked afterwards
