    If the fans are as noisy as his hand driers he can sod off.

    I'm still waiting for him to contact me about the robotic vacuum cleaner I signed up for 10 or so years ago. Lousy follow up - I was flush with Y2K cash then.

      Maybe if you washed your hands after going to the toilet

      If you follow the instructions they work really well but I see a lot of people who don't and just wave their hands about in them.
      While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

          I love the airblade dryers - very efficent to use, and the vacuum cleaner is great all you have to do is wash the filters twice a year. Mr P loves using ours

          I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this

            Early 18th century I think you will find.

            My Engineering expertise would state that this thing is a pile of crap. Will not be as efficent as a blade and will cost you more.

              I'm not sure I've seen his steam driven train? Is it any good?

                On that basis, I might buy one.

                  Ok then, do that, when you do buy one can you ask the salesman how you multiply air?

                    It's pressure innit. Except if you told folk that they'd go "Wot?" so it's Airx15.

                      I would reply but I really can't be bothered getting into a semantic arguement about "is it really multiplying?".
