Henry vacuum cleaners

[matty2670]

You know, the ones with the faces? (There were several different names.) Did I imagine it, or was there a 'female' one called Henrietta?

Was she the yellow one? got a henry and a george (ooo arnt I posh lol)

[matty2670]

I have no idea... A work colleague and I were discussing this and only the 2 of us think there was a female one! I will not rest until I find out...

[teash]

Just thought about this one matty, are you trying to justify an indecent act taken out on a vacuum cleaner and its only now your hoping she was female :)
Sorry couldn`t resist

They do a Basil, Charles, Edward, George, Henry and James but after a hard week's vacuuming, when the weekend comes, who knows what they get up to...

There is also a green coloured one by the name of Wendy but not heard of the henrietta though.

There's a Bertie too and an upright called Felix....

E-mailed numatic because it was bugging me and heres their reply-
In answer to your question Numatic did not make a vacuum called �Henrietta�.



Henrietta does exist though, she is a little girl and her picture appears on advertising and Christmas cards.

Thank you one and all. (Teash, you didn't hear the conversation my colleague and I were having, did you???) Actually, Henry does have a pretty mouth, even if his hose is attached to his nose... Obviously we both shared the same dream, or something. Strangely enough, both him and his wife seem to think there was a recent TV programme about a blind person being able to 'see' via a camera attached to their tongue(?) but no-one else seems to have seen it...
