Whilst the power and extent of the
world wide web normally does not surprise me this is not the case
this week.
Following my recent article on this
weblog entitled Vacuum cleaner euthanasia or
not? I am amazed to learn that I am possibly to be investigated
by the electrical division of the Retailers Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Appliances. As far as I can understand, at
this early stage, that having somehow become aware of my article,
there is a suggestion by society members that I may be being cruel by
overworking my appliance when it is in a poor state of health.
Should the RSPCA consider there is a
case to answer and the matter be taken to a trial, and if found
guilty, I will only be allowed to use my friend for a maximum
duration of one hour thirty minutes per day and must allow a full
forty eight hours rest between work periods, until satisfactory
repairs are carried out . In addition I could be placed on an
electrical retailers blacklist and barred from purchasing an
additional vacuum cleaner for six months. This seems strange, but the
law is not always logical, as a new workmate would mean less work for
my older cleaner to do.
Euthanasia or redundancy are not permitted options, to solve the problem, as my vacuum is entitled to
the job for the duration of its natural life.
