Can you really get excited over a long handled dustpan and brush? Er yes I did! It arrived this am (much to the amusement of the courier), and I used it straight away. No more bending, brush just the right width to fit into those awkward corners. Good strong metal handles with a hole through both to hang up on a wall or something. I've always used Addis, and always will, and I've never had any complaints about anything I've bought. Oh, and regarding the sellotape round the handles being difficult to get off, Lakeland do something called 'sticky stuff remover' or used to. Am betting you could find something similar on ÍøÆغÚÁÏ......
