I can only just afford it (monetarily) but I have now bought myself a nice new vacumn cleaner. It’s not that my old one was not working anymore, after 32 years of service (that’s two years older than me!) its not really up to sucking up Pepper’s cat hair in addition to all the usual dust. I shall give the little Goblin a decent send off. He/she/it deserves it.

How will you do that? I keep imagining some kind of floating funeral pyre, with a hoover in it, drifing off into the sunset…
Actually, upon reflection I think the wee (60s) orange goblin will probably go to a new home in my loft, ready to come out of retirement at opportune moments when large quantities of brick dust need *hoovering*…
I liked your analogy though! The image of a floating funeral pyre drifing off into the sunset whilst a lone pipesman plays a haunting tune across the reedbeds was exactly the image I was hoping to conjure…
