Introducing the greatest invention since hand dryers were invented...the Dyson Airblade! I used one of these for the first time recently and knew I had to blog about it, so here is a little info about the life-changing experience that ensued. After washing my hands, I went to look for the dryers. Couldn't see any, so I looked for hand towels. Couldn't see any of those either. Then I heard what sounded like a dryer coming from a few yards away, and I looked and saw a chap placing his hands into what looked like a mini folded-down ironing board attached to the wall. Gotta be worth a go, I thought. So over I went, dripping hands and all, and placed them at the mercy of the strange-looking device. The experience only lasted a few seconds. That's all it needed to. For the air came fast-so fast in fact that I feared some skin was going to come off. I was so pleasantly surprised that I began to chuckle with delight, and, upon turning my head to the right, the man next to me was doing the same thing. It's not often that the use of a hand dryer can generate both laughter but also conversation, but both were shared during that moment, and the good people at Dyson had unknowingly produced a brilliant conversation starter. The exchange with the man I met was one of those welcome friendly conversations we don't tend to have so much in Britain nowadays, so it was very welcome.
And you know what I realised, upon removing my hands from the device? Unlike when using many other dryers, my hands were actually dry! Not only this, but water had not had chance to run all the way down my wrists and annoyingly trickle beneath my sleeves. Oh no. Because the people at Dyson don't put them high up, but cleverly put them at a height that is both intelligently-positioned and also convenient to reach.
The Dyson Airblade is here to stay folks. Wishing you as pleasurable experience as mine was. You won't want to go back to the machines of yesteryear I can assure you!;)

What a coincidence...I had my first experience of one of these today. I had an even worse time finding the thing since I was wearing prescription sunglasses, and couldn't be bothered to swap to my normal glasses, so everything was a little too dark to see properly. I thought it was a bin!! I was suitably perplexed and wondered if it was entirely safe to put my hands between what looked like two jaws. However, my hands lived to tell the tale.
As for your comment, no you've never met me, I think I stumbled across your blog from a link on another blog that I'd followed from a link on a blog I read regularly, although I can't remember what it was!! I agree with you - it's a great way to build each other up and encourage each other in our faith, and connect with other Christians.
