I like my Shark vacuum too.    Best hoover I've had.   :upvote:

As for £400 for a  dyson  toothbrush  . . . .   well,  some people must have more money than sense.

The Chat Room / It's Vlad's Birthday

We've got a Birthday Boy in our midst today.   

It's our Vlad's big day and I think we should all get together to give him the bumps.  
After that we can pinch some slices of his cake.    :grin:

Hope you have a lovely day Vlad.  x x

The Chat Room / What a charmer

Post on Nextdoor
⚠️ WARNING
There is a woman asking for money to see her sick Children around the Sixfields/Duston area.
Don't fall for her sob story!  She has "photos" on her phones to make her claim seem genuine.

I've been asked to put this on here by someone who doesn't have Nextdoor, but was approached by this woman today with the sob story.

Apparently, Natalie Tidd early 40's who was jailed last year for 20 months for conning money from an elderly lady (you can search the name and story very easily online), is out and just approached a friend of mine, with the exact same sob story and who has asked me to put out the warning on Nextdoor.

DO NOT let her into your home for any reason and do not give her any money either!

If you are approached by her and her sob story, asking you for money, report it to the police.

This is the story referred to in the local paper -

The Chat Room / How do they do it?
Last post by klondike - September 04, 2026, 09:00:53 AM
I read that the medical advice once 999 is called is for a heart attack to chew on a 300mg aspirin. I decided to get a little metal holder to carry one or two that will fit on a keyring.




Price £2.41 sent by Evri. How do they manage that? Royal Mail post would be more than that. In the past before post prices went nuts there were things at 99p delivered.

I can see why RM moved over to sizing as well as weight though. I remember buying a big roll of bubble wrap dirt cheap. It was about 3 feet tall and 2 feet or more diameter and came at whatever their cheapest mail price was at the time  :grin:

And all made abroad now like everything else. Their fans and hairdryers are silly money too. If fact everything is. I have an aging stick vacuum of theirs which I hang on to but was replaced for general use by a Shark at a fraction the their prices.

How about a Dyson toothbrush !!   400 pounds..
I couldn't believe the price.. The toothbrush has a jet of water which is the same as flossing.. It has a camera !!!!

I start to buy (Chr******) presents over many months.. 
I find it easier on the bank balance ...I certainly will not be looking at a Dyson toothbrush..
