Shitely Request (ish) near Pontypridd

[beko1987]

Very much non car related, if this annoys you please feel free to grump about it in the grumpy old man thread.

 

Anyone near Pontypridd who would be able to collect a Hoover, and then box it up and tell me where to arrange a courier for?

 

Have emailed the seller asking if they would entertain packaging it, but I doubt it. Either way, if someone on here could help out they will be getting a barrage of beardy questions!

Any help will be rewarded with a bit of beer money for picking it up and boxing it up!

 

Of course, if proper shitely could be arranged to Bucks, that would make a good thread...

 

Ta in advance!

Lol, that's why I love this site of shite!

 

I would do it, but I'm about three hundred miles away.

Get Sir Ranulph Fiennes to do it.

That looks ever so slightly like a Sinclair C5. Maybe it could be driven* to Pontypridd?

Road trip!

 

Edit. Bet Sir R was made up to have a vacuum cleaner named in honour of him.

Let me get this straight.

 

- Someone in Pontypridd listed a broken old hoover on Ebay, but doesn't want to stick it into a box and mail it.

- Someone in Stokenchurch has a desire for adding said old broken hoover to his broken old hoover collection.

 

Yep, I understand.

[inconsistant]

Leave them to it Junkman, you'll only get sucked in.

Substitute 'broken old Hoover' for 'broken old car' and all becomes clear.

[Junkman]

Nah, the idea actually appeals to me. I'd love to see the collection thread next.

The person in Pontypridd seems to have a problem with sticking old hoovers into anything, even rubbish bins.

I bet meeting him/her will be an interesting experience.

My theory is that in real life beko1987 is either James Dyson or Ranulph Fiennes.

 

Or both. Anyone ever seen Dyson & Fiennes in the same room at the same time?

[Junkman]

No, but David Walliams is definitely not Lara Stone, as I always assumed.

 

[inconsistant]

Yeah I know

[beko1987]

Damn I've been rumbled *goes back to my multi million quid mansion*

 

It sold for £4.99, someone got a bargain. To be geeky about it, looking on howmanyhooversleft shows that out of the 2k produced only 7 are actually registered on DVLA (Dyson Vacuums Lovein Association), making it very rare. The missing floor tool would be sorted by another listing which was going at the time, and I have a spare hose in the garage which could have fixed it. Then it would have been stripped, cleaned, polished then put in a box for 60 years until it may be worth up to £99.99 to anotehr collector. Or scrapped due to rust, who knows?

 

However I didn't bother, mainly due to having 19 vacs upstairs needing bits doing to them, and adding one more would have caused pain from 'er indoors.

[inconsistant]

Does it come with an m.o.p?
