    There's a storm coming, Mr Johnson. You and your friends better batten down the hatches, because when it hits, you're all gonna wonder how you ever thought you could live so large and leave so little for the rest of us.

    I actually had a working mini hoover when I was around 4-5! Plugged in and it actually hoovered up (although not the stones out the back - bless me and my youthful ignorance). I also used to get taken to my mums workplace during school holidays (she was a seamstress at the time for a company who did the ladybird/mothercare clothes) and we (workers kids) sat putting the labels on the coathangers and got paid at the end of the day (was only a few £....maybe £5 at most and there was some squint labelling going on! lol)

    Wouldn't be allowed nowadays though! Shame.
