LOL

Hmmmm

I must admit my eyes are usually drawn to other themes when in the toyshop. Will have to pay closer attention next time *grin*

A great review Damo,  :clap:
I must admit that it is not something I would have considered but perhaps it would fit in with my modern street diorama...(oh no, something else to look out for!)

I found a picture of the Dickie "bendy" sweeper.

Ah, but does Diane know? ;D

Are you pleased with your purchase? - I find that it picks up most effectively by pushing down on the cab as it goes along

I don't think she does.  I bought it while we were shopping separately and put it in my small rucksack in the boot of the car with the rest of the shopping.  When I unloaded, I noticed that the zip on my rucksack was partly open and the box was visible, although not much, so she may have spotted it.

As yet, I've not had chance to try it out, but it looks very interesting in the bags.

I've got my sweeper assembled and tested and great fun.  However, I'm not sure where the electrical warning stickers go as they aren't shown on the box images.  I thought I'd check where Damo put them, but he hasn't used them.  The plans suggest they go on a ribbed section but that seems difficult from the point of view of them sticking, so I'll experiment and post a photo of them finally in place.

I have used them but it is not possible to see them in my pics. On the box image if you look closely just behind the front wheel at the bottom a bit can be slightly seen. These two are a bit pointless really in my opinion.



same the other side

I see them now!  I've just stuck them above the three raised ribs, as in the attached photo, and I'm going to replace the blue broom with a grey one.
