Guest 1footinthegrave Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 The folk with too much time on their hands are as busy as usual.( a bit like me ) New proposals to limit how much water you can use to flush your bog, and now proposed is the maximum wattage of vacuum cleaners, all apparently in the name of efficiency, pity they don't stop the nonsense of the European Parliament spending 180 million euros moving staff and paperwork between its Brussels and Strasbourg sites 12 times a year, mind you it's probably a nice day out with all expenses paid ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CliveH Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 1footinthegrave - 2013-11-03 5:50 PM The folk with too much time on their hands are as busy as usual.( a bit like me ) New proposals to limit how much water you can use to flush your bog, and now proposed is the maximum wattage of vacuum cleaners, all apparently in the name of efficiency, pity they don't stop the nonsense of the European Parliament spending 180 million euros moving staff and paperwork between its Brussels and Strasbourg sites 12 times a year, mind you it's probably a nice day out with all expenses paid ;-) I does underline the monumental stupidity of the EU when such badly thought out proposals are put forward that will have little benefit for the consumer but a huge negative impact on manufacturing in the EU. And all this whilst the Governing body that is the EU up-sticks and moves every 6 months at a truly staggering cost 8-) As for the restriction on the wattage of vacuum cleaners - I suspect that they can be "chipped" so that they give more power. I can see a new black market in "Hoover-Tuning" evolving (lol) (lol) (lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nowtelse2do Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 And another EU ruling. Ref. The British Penny. EU Directive 456174. In order to bring about further European integration with the Single European Currency, all Citizens of The United Kingdom and Northern Ireland must be made aware that the phrase 'Spending a Penny' is not to be used after December 2013.... From this date onward, The correct Terminology will be: 'Euro-Nating'. Thank you for your attention. (I think they are taking the pi$$) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Leake Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Sadly them seem to have made no allowance for floaters which need a proper flush! Bit more research seems to be needed I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retread24800 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Guess what there are actual proposals that relate to both toilets and vacuum cleaners, but if you read the proposals rather than the daily Hail you will see that there is actually quite a lot of sense in what is still being discussed http://blogs.ec.europa.eu/ECintheUK/media-reporting-on-vacuum-cleaners-don%E2%80%99t-get-sucked-in/ http://blogs.ec.europa.eu/ECintheUK/eco-labels-for-loos-stopping-cash-going-down-the-toilet/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 1footinthegrave Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 They just need to educate people about replacing the hepa filters, emptying the dust bag, and unblocking the pipework, many a vacuum would then work effeciently, perhaps the EU will appoint vacuum inspectors to ensure these routine tasks ignored by the many are carried out. ;-) Perhaps also a move to ban pets from homes would help as well, that would cut down on a lot of vacuum use as well, probably enough energy saved to run the underground ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
