ellenmyfanwy Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 That usually goes hand-in-hand with chewing on dust mites! anyway... the point was that someone who builds in such an easily overcome design fault will obviously want 0% interest rates to bolster up an economy which relies on people like me to buy his goods, when ones income is looking a little less certain. dyson chooses not to remember that an "out of control" money supply fed by low interest rates leads to inflation and eventual recession.. as foolish as i was when i thought his vacuum cleaner would do what it promised. ellen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HouseDog Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 Did you know you can get any Dyson repaired by a Dyson person in your own home for £50.00 no matter whats wrong with it! That includes parts and time etc! I think this is quite a good deal when you've just aquired one from your local refuse centre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Baron Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 Dyson attacks make-up of MPC http://www.telegraph.co.uk/money/main.jhtml;jsessionid=FBNBTGZ1V1ZJHQFIQMGCFGGAVCBQUIV0?xml=/money/2006/05/29/cndyson29.xml' rel="external nofollow">Gordon Brown is under pressure to overhaul the way the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee is appointed, amid growing criticism that it does not speak for British business. Mr Dyson accused the MPC of neglecting industrial firms, saying: "There is no one representative of manufacturing. Never has been. There has never been a representative of people who actually have to borrow money. "Everyone cheered when they moved responsibility for interest rates to the Bank of England but I was dismayed because interest rates have much more to do with politics than just house prices. "We should stop using interest rates as a tool, a very clumsy tool, to control inflation. We should learn from the Japanese m odel." The fun is just starting. Dyson? This is the man who is now so puffed up with his own self importance that he compares himself with the great engineer Brunel. Not to mention his beastly and overpriced 'Hoover' which doesn't work.

maker of things Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 (edited) He's just admitting that British manufacturing is a pile of shit. I think he means the third world model, devalue your currency and the living standards of your people, cheap exports and deregulation, so long as we can make fancy hoovers and sell them to someone. We can't follow the Jap model, they're clever and work hard. Oh, they also make things people actually want! TW@T!!!!!!!!! bit of a contradiction there. Dyson is doing a stunning job as a manufacturing company. Dyson does make things people actually want - now having the largest market share in Japan. British manufacturing is a pile of shit because hardly anyone knows how to make things anymore. Dyson is one of the very few companies that does - and surprise surprise they are doing well. If there were more companies like Dyson around here, this country would be in far less shit than it is now. Trouble is, people seem quite happy enough to be hangers-on in the UK - money men, marketing men, salesmen - they are everywhere, bleeding this place dry. Lowering interest rates is one way of helping manufacturing - but quite a short termist way. Far better to make manufacturing related subjects compulsory in education and let the longterm, enthusiastic, actually quite natural picture grow in a sustainable way. If more effort given to manufacturing, then more jobs created, then more money given to people, which helps them pay for the houses whose prices you (and I too) are so bitter about. Simple.

Pluto Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 I remeber when I was a kid my mother had a broom. It had a wooden long pole will bristles on the end. You pushed it around and dirt and dust was accumuated in one place. It never got clogged and it was very green as didn't require any electricity or gas. I seemed to recall they come in different colors. This simple invention has now been replaced with a Dyson, which is a more expensive than the simple broom. Oh well, we can't complain about progress can we.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple. don't dispute any of this... we need entrepreneurs et al..and need tax breaks to make their start offs effective but sadly it is just a bit of a shame that dyson moved his manufacturing base to malaysia in 2002 if, as you suggest, he was concerned about uk economy and not his shareholding? ellen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A mate of mine owns a Service Centre and covers most of the brands of vacuum cleaners. He repairs all machines under guarantee regardless of whether they have been purchased from him. You buy from Comet etc and he has to cover the guarantee. Dysons are more prone to breakdowns on percentage than all the other brands he deals with. His winner in the reliability stakes is British made with a smile on its face. I could not post what his Service Manager says about Dysons.

I've never quite found the time for alcohol fueled, psychedelic orgies! edit: it now wants me to buy a duplex in Almeria, Spain. I'm not sure which is worse. I was sent this story was a joke earlier :- Police powerless on outdoor orgies http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_1466538.html' rel="external nofollow">Dutch police and park rangers have admitted they are powerless to stop a growing trend of outdoor sex orgies. In the latest incident, a large group of people were found romping naked on a beach in the Bussloo area of the country. They including 10 couples who were being "particularly boisterous" with each other while the others watched. But police called to the scene admitted they were powerless to act despite numerous complaints from other beach users, and could only give the naked orgy lovers a verbal warning. The head of one of Holland's biggest national parks says the problem is getting worse and has called for the government to make clear guidelines on outdoor sex orgies to allow police to act. Eric Droogh, who is director at the Veluwe National Park, said: "A national debate on wild sex parties in the countryside is essential. "Police and park wardens currently have too little scope to intervene. The only possibility is to catch the transgressors red-handed.

laurejon Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Did you know you can get any Dyson repaired by a Dyson person in your own home for £50.00 no matter whats wrong with it! That includes parts and time etc! If you read the small print, its states that the householder must pay the Engineers Travelling costs. So thats a return trip to China Club Class, £2850 bit of a contradiction there.Dyson is doing a stunning job as a manufacturing company. Dyson does make things people actually want - now having the largest market share in Japan. British manufacturing is a pile of shit because hardly anyone knows how to make things anymore. Dyson is one of the very few companies that does - and surprise surprise they are doing well. If there were more companies like Dyson around here, this country would be in far less shit than it is now. What, like we would all be unemployed, watching third world workers in sweat shops produce cheap tack to import to a country whereby nobody has a job so no money to buy the product. Face facts m8, if you offshore your work, and lay off the workers, you have just shot yourself in the foot, the workers are the consumers!!!. Dyson is a classic example of why British Workers are wasting their time on Research and Dev. When a product finally comes to fruition after many years of red tape and beauracratic garbage, they offshore it for manufacture overseas. We see this time and time again in all fields of industry. British Taxpayers pay for the research, the third world reap the rewards having it handed on a plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okonu Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Mr Dyson is being an idiot - and he knows it 1) The rates that his companies borrow at are set by the bond market, not by BoE. You borrow based on LIBOR + BP, or ten year treasuries + BP, not base rate. 2) He wants a rate cut to boost demand, not to lower his production costs. 3) The BoJ zero interest rate policy had nothing to do with trying to boost manufacturing sector - it was designed to bail out the finance and construction industries. Besides, WTF doesn't he just borrow in yen if he likes yen interest rates so much? Hardly rocket science Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apom Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Wouldn't buy a Dyson out of principle. "No loss of suction.... ever..." "What even when it is full......?" "No obvioulsy you have a loss of suction when it is full..." "Just like a bag then...?" "No it fills up in a different way...." "Please step away from me...."
