Hoovering with a Dyson

[NoviceKnitter]

I wish I didn't get irritated when people say they're going to do the hoovering, rather than the vacuuming, even if they don't own a Hoover vacuum cleaner - in fact I wish I could bring myself to say hoovering, so I could be like everyone else, but I can't. Am I alone? (Fully expecting to be - even I think I'm a pedantic weirdo on this.) I think I would still say vacuuming even if I had a Hoover. I don't say I'm just going to do the Bosching, even though I have a Bosch washing machine. But maybe I should start.

And is it because I am just an northern thug that I do the "vaccing" or "vaccing up" See, I can't even spell it it's such a made up word

Biro.. there's a brandname thats synonimous with particualr pens, wether they're biros or not.

...and on Blue Peter they also said "clear glue" and "white glue" when you could clearly see thumping great tubes of UHU and Copydex with their names blacked out?

So do you wear Wellies/Wellingtons?

.. and have a Sandwich?

Blu tack is another.

No one ever says bluish sticky gummy stuff, or something like.
