Ahhh thank you very much

children?

My Gran used to call hers a Ewbank (spelling?) but I presume that was a brand?

Apparently you can get electric carpet sweepers. Me, I'd call that a hoover.

a dog?

Ah, Betty beat me to the Ewbank!

I'm glad someone else remembers it being called that HC -for a moment I thought it was a name invented by my slightly mad Scottish Granny

A servant.

Just don't go looking for a Eubank cos you wouldn't want him picking up your fluff.

they are quite expensive,
