    Zippy,
    if Twitter is to be believed, there is no "maybe" about it!

    As I get older I'm not keen on being stuck in the back of a cramped 2 door car.

    Yeah, you'd get used to it if you had to.

    Excellent video.

    After getting up there, you really really really wouldn't want to drop the screwdriver,

    Any idea how long it took?

    Good point well made nobby.

    Wonder why they feel the need to put this in the manual then?

    CAUTION: Risk of electric shock! If casing is removed or handled improperly the internal components
    of the Dyson Airblade TM hand dryer may cause harm

    I am scared to death with the thought of getting an offer from my client to go permie with them.

    Am I the only one?

    Ever had a shower? A heavy duty mains cable connected directly into the middle of the unit, way more amps than a hand-dryer.
