Sir Henry At Ndidi's Kraal [Remastered] - Vivian Stanshall

The Prophets Never Mentioned Socks

Advantages: Fitth Hounds of Hades
Disadvantages: There is No Proper Name For The back of the Knees

Vivian Stanshall quite often walked on both sides of the line between genius and insanity. He was the leader of the Bonzo Dog Band amongst other things if you must know, and "Sir Henry at Rawlinson End" one of his finest achievements as a writer. "Sir Henry at Rawlinson End" is set in Rawlinson Manor somewhere in rural England and was originally broadcast on John Peel's radio show. It is a fantastically absurd piece exploring the absurdities of the English aristocracy, note that I do not say Brittish as in my eyes Brittishness does not really exist, you have Englishness, Welshness, Scottishness and Irishness, but Brittishness is an artificial construct. Anyway I have meandered from the main thoroughfare here. During this CD Vivian narrates his way through a story which has a minimal plot about the strange inhabitants of Rawlinson ...

Review of Sir Henry At Rawlinson End - Vivian Stanshall

Henry the cleaner . . .

Advantages: Suction is brilliant.
Disadvantages: Looks are a little industrial.

. . . This review is on the very robust Henry Numatic model HVR 200. You will know it as soon as you see it as it has a smiley face, and comes in four colours, red green blue & yellow, well now they have added another to the range - PINK!!! Technically this one is called HETTY, but it is identical otherwise. The shape is cylindrical, but not laid down, it is upright, like an oil drum, and has a buffer ring surrounding it, which does not mark walls. It is mounted on castors, and so is easy to move about. As for the suction, I can only say it is brilliant, the cable is wound up neatly in it's own drum, all tools are there, the machine itself is light enough to be carried up the stairs, what more could you want in a cleaner? There is of course a down side, but not much of one, for instance it is not easy to vacuum the stairs as ...

Review of Numatic HVR 200 Henry

HAPPY WITH HENRY

Advantages: Powerful, low maintenance, Simple
Disadvantages: Can be a bit awkward

I have been the proud owner of a Henry for over two years and in my opinion it is one of the best values for money products I have purchased. It is simple to operate with a large red power button as its only control. It has a large capacity bag and is very simple to empty. The power lead is exceptionally long and winds in and out so you don't have lengths of cable all over the floor. The motor is powerful and suction is extremely good. It picks up well on all floor surfaces in our home, carpets, wood and tiles. I also have no problems using it to clean out our car. To top it all off Henry's smiley face also oozes character. The only slight negative is he is a little bit tall which occasionally means he can topple over if you're not careful. I would have no reservation in recommending Henry. ...
