I found two possibilities but neither made sense.

Read the comments below, all is explained. Well, POS is explained, not much else!

Ah, of course. Thanks.

I now see that was the first one on the urban dictionary page. I didn't actually go there as on my results page UD suggested positively outstanding service. :lol:

I'll know better next time and look properly :nod:

That's where I kept seeing POS and my searches were more positive sounding things. :lol:

CBC doesn't often amuse me with their headlines, but this did with this one today



Home prices in Vancouver haven't gone down because people affected by COVID couldn't afford them to start with

Better look out I don't lose the cat and MrBEVS better take care not to irritate, he might find suction marks on his bald pate.

I know I sound like a saddo but I've been waiting 6 months for this to happen , plus the previous vacuum has been rubbish really for several years despite all the maintenance , repairs and replacements. You know how it is. You save from something and then you buy it all shiny and new. :wub:

MrBEVS thought he might take it for a trial run . I was not pleased.

I have a shark, it's 8 years old now and still fab!

Gawd. I am so pleased to read that Piff Poff. It needs to last and nt become an inanimate object or adverse to dust and dirt.

Same. I bought it thinking cordless would make it easier to go round more often (dog sheds an unbelievable amount). Six minute battery life.

I don't mind the short battery life so much as the price. It's a little underpowered.

This turned out to be less terrifying than the headline suggests, and is actually quite cute. Baby shark doodoo....
