Didn't anyone tell you; women improve with age.

a certain make of vacuum cleaner that claims to have no loss of suction

So you have discovered the real purpose of the vacuum cleaner. Or maybe not!

suss out the talent, see whats on offer, do a dry run :

owch!

Women are always slightly moist - or they would squeak when they walked. (Why am I telling you this? )

But I digress.

Things that don't do what they say on the tin:

1) Packs of cooked meat that say "Peel here".

2) Almost all links to free software.

3) First class stamps.

Edit: Just spotted this:

Tin openers...

corckscrews !!!

condoms !!

Well what do you expect if you mix condoms with tin openers and corkscrews?

I have just found another one, "Cementone Brick & Patio Cleaner" we have natural stone patio with a few marks and green algy type stuff, not much, but after splashing out a tenner, spraying, brushing and hosing, 2 to 3hrs later it is just the same.

So if you want my advice, you're going to get it anyway, you may as well P on your patio, let me know if it works though.

Been there, done that, got the T shirt.
