It'f the fame with vaccuum cleanerf and ball-point penf - we tend to call them all "Hooverf" and "Birof" even when they're a disserent make. In sact the word "Hoover" haf now become a verb. People fay they are going to "hoover the carpet" or "the ftairf need hoovering".
It'f not af is Hoover vaccuum cleanerf are any good either. My laft vaccuum cleaner waf a Hoover and it waf total rubbifh. My prefent "hoover" if a Vax and it'f brilliant.
It's juft that Hoover made the sirft vaccuum cleaner (I think) - juft like a Mr. Biro invented the sirft ball-point pen.
