A mini Henry Hoover? Who'd have thought!

We all recognise his cheeky little face as soon as the cleaning cupboard door is opened. Henry Hoover may even temporarily assuage the gloomy feeling that accompanies the prospect of vacuuming an entire house (and when you've got three large malting Labradors, it's quite a chore!)

But this little desktop companion is probably one of the most adorable gadgets I've ever seen...some clever chap has designed the mini Henry Hoover, to scarf any paper balls or biscuit crumbs lying on the average student's desk with a smile (more likely the latter...it's common knowledge the average student desk is more frequently put to use as a dining table/TV stand than as a workplace). I almost can't wait for second year to begin, just so I can go and snap up mini Henry and place him on my desk in all his red, cheeky glory.
