Default Disco II and Dyson

Funny story (at least I think so).

So we have an older Dyson vacuum cleaner. The power head has been suffering from some weird electrical issues (turns off for no apparent reason). The other day I take the Dyson to the vacuum repair guy for a diagnosis and repair. I tell the repair guy about the weird electrical problems with the vacuum. He points to the vacuum cleaner and says "British Electronics"...then points to my Discovery parked just outside his front door and repeats "British Electronics". He said the Dyson is an extremely capable vacuum cleaner and should last for a long time if properly maintained, but the problems with it...we will just have to get used to. I gave him an "I know exactly what you are talking about" smirk and nod, and put my British vacuum cleaner in my British truck.

Default Dysco?

Has he owned a Land Rover, by chance? He seems awfully aware of their... er, character. Maybe he can help you fix your vacuum AND your Rover. xP

My neighbor always sees me working on my rovers. Every month or so he forgets that he already told me "the reason English drink warm beer?"

"Because Lucas makes their ice boxes!"
