Digging a bit deep in the barrel aren't we BB, Chritsam 2022 has long gone.
Thanks for the feedback but after our last spaniel left in January we bought a Dyson cordless with anti hair wrap, and compared to our old Dyson upright its a dream to use. Does all of downstairs on a single charge. But it did not have to deal with as much dog hair and detritus as the old upright did. So the old one is now stored JIC! However, a complication has arisen as now our grandson's Vizla seems to have fostered us, as his company are now cutting back on WFH.
