If my vacuum can remove even one spec of dirt that yours misses, then mine is better than yours - even if there's no proof that mine would have picked up as much dirt as yours...

Boycott British products (i.e. Dyson)?
Original Message Aug 24, 2009 11:58 am

There is talk of a boycott of British goods over the questionable release of the Lockerbie bomber Megrahi. Since Dysons are at least designed in Britain, I wonder if it will have any effect on them. Dyson might want to increase the size of the "made in Malaysia" stickers on their vacuums.

Personally, I don't believe in punishing an entire nation for the stupidity of their government officials. We've certainly had our share of stupid politicians in the US.

*** Note that I am not implying that Dyson should be boycotted. I am only saying that a call to boycott British goods could have an effect on Dyson sales in the US. **

The smart tyrant writes his own story to ensure that it is favorable. The lazy will repeat lines from the book without fact checking.

I didn't start the thread DIB and don't force others to read and post on it. But while its here and free to post on, I will. Read it or not. It's your call not mine.

This is a story that won't go away. And in 3 years may result in the boycott of the Olympics in London. Maybe not? Are you planning to go! I'm not. And have attended other Olympics in other countries.

Your previous comments in red shows how much BS you spew. If you have not interest in non vac related topics keep quiet.

Hello M00seUK:

Until the product is sold and I see that it relates to vacuums/floorcare, I for one have no interest in knowing. Until then, dyson's plans/intentions are all speculation to titilate his fans here free of charge.
