Modern vacuum cleaner bags made with 3M filtration media are an impressive invention.

"We had a lady phone up with a blocked machine. We went through the usual checks but couldn’t find that fault, so we brought it in for our engineers to investigate. On inspection, we found about £200 inside it – her husband had been hiding £20 notes under the sofa and she’d be sucking them up! We simply returned the machine mended, with a small brown envelope attached..."
 
This begs the question:  Why didn't at least one of the british pound notes get sucked through wands and the hose into the dirt bin?

I don't know what dyson this is but............... it appears the big mighty dyson with all its air watts is no match for a little bitty piece of paper money.  Then the YouTube dyson steel ball test is meaningless?  Dyson can pick up more steel balls than other vacuums but not paper balls?
 
I can understand a clogged hose/wand due to a sock, nylon, cardboard because these can't tear and shred and break into pieces.  But paper money with at most a 14 month useful life?  Pocket and wallet sized balled up paper?  None got into the bin.  No shreds, pieces, corners, nothing?    
 
Maybe I missed the story's sarcasm?  Unless there are some facts and cicumstances that are incomplete and/or not correct.

Hey Carl:
 
In other words, I got "punked."  
 
Actually, my good friend, you missed my humor!  Funny that a vacuum can pick up huge steel balls and not little itty bitty paper ones?    Now that's something to laugh about!

Carmine,
 
Now who should we believe really - Camine or this UK story?
 
Any rational human can except the UK story as sincere.  Here is a picture of - as you say “itty bitty paper”...   Carmine, quit hassling those who post Dyson articles.  Your not the gate keeper to this web forum. - Do you own and operate these servers, pay for the bandwidth, own the domain, etc?  Let the Dyson people talk, share, link or whatever without your interference.
