Dyson founder Sir James Dyson turned 78 today and to celebrate Samsung is offering their own vacuum cleaners for free.

Samsung claims the Bespoke AI Jet Ultra is the world's most powerful stick vacuum in the world, with 400W of suction power.
The gadget, which was launched at the end of March, comes with
two batteries so owners can clean their whole home non-stop for 160 minutes.
A large capacity battery works continuously for up to 100 minutes depending on the strength setting, while there's also an inter-changeable secondary lightweight battery that will work for up to an hour.
The South Korean firm cheekily enlisted YouTuber Zac Alsop to gift Sir Dyson one of their own vacuums by turning up at their UK headquarters in Malmesbury, Wiltshire.
But the stunt goes further by offering 78 customers a chance to grab a free Bespoke AI Jet Ultra this weekend.
From 11am on Saturday (May 3), the first 78 in the queue at Samsung's main London store with a birthday card for Sir Dyson will be able to claim a free vacuum cleaner.
You'll need to turn up at the Samsung KX store in Coal Drops Yard, London, near St Pancras International and Kings Cross stations.
In total, Samsung will be giving more than £90,000 worth.
Each person in the queue will need to be 18 or over and have ID.
And only one per household is allowed.

"At Samsung, innovation is at the heart of everything we do. The Bespoke AI Jet Ultra isn't just powerful, it's the most powerful stick vacuum on the market," said Tanya Weller, Marketing Director for Digital Appliances, Samsung Electronics UK&I.
"As well as power, it has intelligent features like AI Cleaning that detects each surface and adjusts the power accordingly, alongside being one of the lightest yet."

Rachel Reeves 'set to ape Thatcher with bank regulation bonfire'
The Chancellor will use her Mansion House speech on Tuesday to unveil a regulation bonfire in a bid to usher in an economic boom similar to that seen when Thatcher tore up the rules of the City, The Sun on Sunday reports. She will urge bank bosses to keep staff in the UK rather than moving to New York or Paris. Post-Brexit London has seen an exodus of financial services workers, with consultancy firm EY finding that more than 7000 jobs had moved from the UK to the EU in 2022. A Treasury source told The Sun on Sunday: 'Millions of Brits work in financial services, but for too long red tape and excessive regulation has choked off innovation and growth in the economy. 'Well, no more. Britain is entering a new era. We will slash regulation and make the UK the best place in the world to do business. 'Forget Paris, New York and Frankfurt – come to London, Leeds and Edinburgh. 'Rachel is determined to create a new Big Bang which will turbocharge growth in the economy for a new generation to put more pounds in people's pockets.' READ MORE: No need to wait for UK. Scotland can launch its own form of wealth tax The Chancellor is under immense pressure after her failure to turn around the flagging UK economy. Growth fell in May for the second month running and the Office for Budget Responsibility last week set out a bleak picture of the public finances. She will tell City grandees on Tuesday that bankers can be assured of 'higher wages and higher living standards', The Guardian reports. Elsewhere, the Bank of England is likely to cut interest rates, in news that will be welcome for people with mortgages, but only if there the Government's National Insurance hike continues to prevent firms from hiring new workers and making redundancies. Governor Andrew Bailey told The Times there was 'consistent' evidence of businesses 'adjusting employment' because of Labour's jobs tax, adding that he believed 'path is downward' for interest rates, which currently stand at 4.25%.

Which TV brand is best in 2025 and how to choose
A real heavyweight in the TV world, Samsung has its own Quantum Dot technology, using tiny crystals to make the LEDs that light up the TV's pixels. This gives you the dense blacks and excellent colour response associated with OLED sets, without that tech's one drawback, a slight tendency toward image retention. Debates rage as to which is better - the answer is that it comes down to your own eyes and what you're happy with - but with a 55in 4K set like the Samsung QN85B available for £1,199 at the time of writing, there's a lot to be happy about. As with other brands, it's perfectly possible to spend a great deal of money on a Samsung, but if you simply must have the biggest TV, the 85in 8K QLED QN800A is worth a look, being half the price of similar models at £2,499.

Tesco Bank advice to savers over Bank of England update
Brits are being urged to take action as soon as possible with their savings, as Tesco Bank has said that many are currently losing money, and the Bank of England could make cuts to interest rates A high-street bank has sent out a stark warning to its three million customers, advising that inaction is costing them money as inflation looms large. On the cusp of the UK's latest inflation figures release on Wednesday, Tesco Bank has raised the alarm after discovering that 39% of Britons do not understand how inflation affects their savings. The financial institution flagged particular concerns for younger savers, stating nearly half of those aged between 20 and 40 (49%) are unclear about the effect of inflation on their savings, potentially missing chances to protect their nest eggs and get more bang for their buck. With the Bank of England on the brink of unveiling fresh inflation data on Wednesday July 16, Tesco Bank warns this could spell trouble for those stashing cash in savings accounts. Tesco Bank noted the critical nature of inflation rates to consumers, pointing out it signifies the rise in goods prices and how it can diminish the purchasing power of consumers - and mean the savings are worth a lot less. Among the many who fail to grasp inflation's implications, the survey by Tesco Bank uncovered that 11% mistakenly believe inflation boosts savings values, whilst 7% erroneously think it has no effect. Furthermore, one in five (20%) confessed they're simply clueless about the meaning of inflation. Tesco Bank's Save and Pay Director, Chris Henderson said: "Given the cost of living, it's concerning that so many people are in the dark on inflation and the impact it has on their money. "Knowing what inflation does to your money, and how you can protect your savings when the inflation rate is higher, is an important part of managing personal finances. When the rate of inflation is on the rise, it means the costs of things in our everyday lives are going up more quickly, so the money we have in the bank doesn't stretch as far. As an example, if inflation remains at 3.5% for the next 12 months, the £100 you have in the bank today would buy you £96.62 worth of goods in a year's time. "The truth is that inflation is different for everyone depending on what you buy, or pay for, each month but being aware of the UK's inflation rate is important. While there is no fail-safe way to protect your money from inflation, making sure you are getting a competitive interest rate on your savings can certainly help." Meanwhile, Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey has indicated that interest rates could be cut if the job market slows down. The governor also mentioned to The Times that businesses are "adjusting employment" following Chancellor Rachel Reeves ' decision to increase national insurance contributions (NICs) for employers. Companies are "also having pay rises that are possibly less than they would have been if the NICs change hadn't happened", Mr Bailey commented. In his interview with the newspaper, he observed that the British economy is lagging behind its potential growth. Mr Bailey has expressed his belief that the base rate, which the Bank of England opted to hold in June, is on a trajectory to be reduced. The prevailing Bank rate of 4.25% impacts all borrowing within the UK, from mortgages to personal loans, and it's set for reassessment on August 7 by the Bank's Monetary Policy Committee. "I really do believe the path is downward," Mr Bailey said in an interview with The Times. He further added: "But we continue to use the words 'gradual and careful' because... some people say to me 'why are you cutting when inflation's above target?'"
