I've been looking at the Hoover freejet 3 in 1, just going on price and user reviews on Amazon. I need bagless and cordless but can't afford the other ones I saw. I have no idea what 'air watts' are. TA'd that I've made an OT post.
Have a look at power city website or the argos catalogue, they show the air watts a vacuum cleaner has, and on Power city you can filter your search by air watts or power watts etc..0 -

There is no counter space whatsoever to put your stuff down on so if you're buying a few things you have to put them on top of the chocolate bar display which is of course a graduated display so your stuff starts to slide down, the person behind the counter starts picking up chocolate bars that weren't part of your stuff and you're busy trying to grab everything before they fall off the display onto the ground. Then if you want to pay by card you have to go down the other end of the counter and leave all of your stuff there and by the time the card transaction is finished the person behind the counter has already moved onto the next customer, who is trying to stop their stuff sliding off the display and trying to shove your stuff out of the way and stop the person behind the counter scanning bars that they don't want to buy so you have to try to get all your stuff together, separating it from everyone else's stuff and bars that you didn't buy.
The whole experience just feels so rushed and like they don't want you buying more than one thing that you can hold in your hand and your money in your other hand.
I try to never go in there.
Ugh, I think I know the shop you mean
You are struggling to hold onto your few bits, and nowhere to actually put them down. So you are passing them over bit by bit, and getting them handed back to you, you'd want to be an octopus

I was morto and hightailed it out of the place as fast as I could. Half way back to work I could hear a rattling noise as I stepped - turned out about half a dozen boxes of Tic Tacs had landed in my coat pocket.

Yeah and doing that stupid awkward smiling and "oh sorry" awkward laughing as you basically perform a 2 person juggling act and the person behind the counter looks like they want to murder you.0 -
People coming to a dead stop in the middle of the street. It's busy, walking along minding my own business when some outrageous thick stopped right there, no warning, I called him a simpleton, accidently but I'm not sorry at all.
Going to lodge money in the bank. There's a que and one lodgement machine is down (to the left of the q) and there's a statement machine to the right of the que. I'm eventually standing next in line and this aul fella comes barging up "excuse me excuse me there are Ye waiting for the lodgement machine?"
... Yes?
"There's one free".
It's out of order.
"Oh is it?" And goes off to inspect it. A big **** off sign on it and you're questioning if I'm wrong? Then he goes to see if he could lodge through the statement machine.
The c word in front of me in aforementioned que had three cards, a stack of money and was FOREVER at the machine, apparently you can only put a certain amount in at a time. More than one transaction? **** on back to the back of the que there's a good chap. Him hogging the only machine working.
Then I was still humming at the luas stop with temper when this old man (sober and dirty) approached me asking for money for tea and a sandwich. I was so annoyed I was mean to him and said I had no change when I did. A minute or two later I felt terrible and went after him but couldn't find him
And that STUPID ****ING WHITE BRIDGE WITH ITS STUPID STEPS one of these mornings I'm going to fall and break my snot. Those steps are awful. Too long to stride across and not long enough not to take a step on it to get to the next step. I have little legs, inconsiderate pricks whoever designed that0 -

I definitely would. I'm one of those people who would prefer to ring the gardai and have them not give a fúck than not ring the gardai and keep thinking I should ring them.0 -
