I always wonder which brilliant advertising mind thought up the slogan "Nothing sucks like an Electrolux". I often wondered if he/she got sacked!!
It reminds me of when I was taking over a married quarter in Berlin, with my wife in attendance. I had previously owned a Goblin teasmade and as the 'Q' chap was reeling off the items in the flat he pointed to the Vacuum cleaner and said "One Goblin housemaid" Without thinking I said, "Oh good, I've always wanted one of those".
I felt the eyes burning holes through my body. She didn't speak to me for 2 days!! (Bliss)
