Love the 1970s marketing ad. Imagine if it really were a James Bond movie promotion - perhaps for a movie "Live and let suction", or "On Her Majesty's Secret Suction" or "Tomorrow Never Sucks", or "The Vaccuum Cleaner Who Loved Me"... James Dyson shirt's fantastic by the way!

Another wonderful insight into what many of us think mundane. And a fearless decision in wearing black around all that dust! Congraulations and thank you Dr Andi.
