Students’ behaviour on nights out occasionally makes the news for all the wrong reasons.

But this story about a group of lads’ evening out in Scotland is so wholesome that it’ll leave you with a smile as wide as Henry Hoover’s.

The banter kings from University of St Andrews stitched up their fellow students by nicking their hoovers and taking them for a night on the town.

The result is the Henrys posing for some snaps that are pure squad goals at iconic locations around St Andrews.


Patrick Milne, 19, revealed that he and his mates came up with the idea when a neighbour borrowed their vacuum cleaner – which was never returned.

The second-year medical student said: ‘At the start of the year, in September, our neighbour asked to borrow our hoover.



‘The cold blooded-kidnap of Henry Hoover by our infamous next door flat has led to an ongoing vendetta between us.

‘After much discussion, we decided to escalate the issue with the ultimate one-up on Saturday night.’

Some may have come up with a dastardly plan to really upset their neighbours, but that’s just not how the boys from Flat No.10 roll.

Patrick said: ‘Every flat in our student hall building was visited, and their Henry Hoovers borrowed.

‘We then took them on a grand tour and photo shoot of the iconic St Andrews landmarks such as the castle, the pier, the famous St Salvator’s Quad, and the bridge over the Swilcan Burn on the 18th hole of the world famous Old Course.

‘The Henrys now join the ranks of many a pop icon or world leaders such as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Barack Obama, and Rory McIlroy to have their photos taken at these famous spots.’

Patrick completed the #bants by posting the photos in the student hall group chat, adding: ‘Nobody was annoyed and that was the main thing.’
