I think Mark Carney's analysis of the state of capitalism in the UK is right. I find him a very astute and good Governor of the Bank of England. Who on earth will take over from him in 2018?

Those that have, have a lot more than they would have in the past and those at the bottom end of the spectrum are suffering with poor jobs, poor pay, poor contracts (zero hours etc). Towns are having the centres ripped out of them by internet companies and out of town shopping centres and even they will soon start to struggle. Corporate and sport greed is creating an undercurrent of unhappiness which is beginning to surface by those who see their jobs being taken by migrants. The recession and lack of pay growth is being felt by the poor and those are probably hard working families!

Global Corporations are stripping money away from countries and not paying their fair share of tax.

I don't think the government realise what is happening or know how serious it is!

Hopefully they will take note of Carney's speech!

Apologies for the doom and gloom outburst but Dyson is just capitalising on those who have more money than sense but the chinese or others from out there will soon copy it and flout his patents no doubt!

I saw the advert and thought it would be a great xmas present for my daughter ..... until I saw the £299 price at Curry's! Totally ridiculous

I would never pay that for a hairdryer.
However I did once say that about Dyson hoovers , but having purchased one would never have anything else!

Dyson are far from the engineering pioneers they claim to be.
They are just very good at repackaging proven automotive and aeronautical concepts in bright coloured plastic and flogging them for ridiculous money.
The Dyson vacuum simply uses principles developed in air filters for agricultural and armoured vehicles, the hairdryer simply uses Benuli's venturi theorem (carburettors) and the digital motor simply isn't digital but a choppered induction motor as found in most forklifts.

 

[Abacist]

We had one of their early upright cleaners and the plastic soon went brittle and bits broke and fell off.
We now have a Sebo which is first class.
Also inherited a Miele cylinder which is also very good.
Unfortunately neither are British!

What's ridiculous is people paying £100 more.

Sold out now..

if you have to have one then buy direct through dyson, or john lewis, it'll cost you considerably less..

and i'm with @Abacist, many, many years ago when dyson first started, i saw a demo of vacuum cleaners, the sebo won hands down, bought mine on the spot, (still have it) and it was cheaper too..
wouldn't have a dyson anything even if you paid me..

We recently bought one of the Dyson V6 cordless vacuum cleaners, mainly for cleaning the van when at home. It was a refurbished one - by Dyson - and sold on their eBay website. It was considerably cheaper and included all the attachments you normally need to buy separately, plus it came with 12 months guarantee.

Neither are Dyson.
They manufacture in the far east. They are a classic British service industry not a manufacturer. We are a nation of middle men.

This Canadian guy tears things to bits and gives his verdict, warts an all:

 

[pyro]

A normal motor that mysteriously becomes a "digital motor" when it is controlled by PWM pulses, cyclonic vacuum cleaners that are based on old workshop sawdust extraction principles and are only as good as their filters, brightly coloured flimsy aesthetics to appeal to the housewife, over priced hand driers. Whatever happened to their well overpriced washing machine, I have to wonder?

What does this £300 hairdryer do that a £30 Nicky Clarke special doesn't? Aside from the cost giving the owner something to boast about, I can't think of anything

There are always going to be people amongst us that treasure the cost of something above it's worth, just look at Apple's business model of you are in any doubt.

I wont say I already have one from John Lewis case she reads my posts.....

"Digital"

Sounds sexy for some prospective buyers
