If there was no gravity would you need a hoover?

I am slightly more perturbed by the fact that you were doing the Hoovering while your wife was in the house

 Dust would still be attracted to charged surfaces.  Record player lids, Polyurethane varnished floors, plastics and furniture and melamine worktops are the worse.  Also there is microgravity in space, everything has gravity, no matter how small.

Wouldn't the needle skip with no gravity?

You'd need an omni-directional Hoover. Probably....

A black hole small enough to carry around the house? You'd need to VERY careful indeed when throwing the potato peelings in its general direction though.

I shouldn't really mention this but.....since we are talking anti-gravity......
I am in the process of patenting my 'Anti-Gravity Assembly STation'.

AGAST, for short. 

It negates gravity over a limited area and assists DIY nonces, like myself, to put shelves up and never see a screw fall to the floor.

No Gravity? I wouldn't like to have to tie myself down with a specific answer.

Bizarrely, I was asked by my 14 year old son today,"Do you think gravity will ever stop working?"

I think that's a reasonable question since so few people could answer why it works, and no one can really explain its comparitively low strength.

no such thing as a stupid question etc....

Having already explained the Ken Livingstone/Hitler news story, I settled for "I think it's unlikely"....
