The EU says you can't have a decent Hoover!

Did you know from 1st September, an EU directive comes into force that bans the import or manufacture of vacuum cleaners above 1600 watts!

Basically they are talking about the average vacuum cleaner you have at home. Instead you will have to replace your hoover with a lower powered energy efficient model, which will save the planet but not collect so much dust 

According to the Beeb, Dyson are challenging this and in a recent Which survey, 5 out of the top 7 best sellers all had motors over 1600 watts.

Wonder how this will affect commercial cleaning companies or if they will get dispensation?

So the another cracking EU directive to be filed with the wrong shape bananas, or a valid and fair point that is addressing climate change?

Well it's another way of creating jobs, guess it won't take long before the con men start telling old ladies they have to scrap their old expensive Dyson cleaners and buy an even more expensive super dooper Eco friendly, save the whale and plant a tree "Dyson special 1599 watt hover" made in China by friends of the dalilama....

The sooner we get a vote on getting the F*** out of Europe the better.

Bunch of paper pushing bureaucrats with a fetish for straight fruit & veg
