My electric toothbrush is in my suitcase under a pile of thousands of orphaned bags at Frankfurt airport.

I’ve been using electric toothbrushes for so long, I’m feeling a bit lost.

I unpacked a Luddite version last night in order to keep Doc Höffler happy and it was confusing to say the least.

I worked out which end went in my mouth, but when I pressed the shaft nothing happened.

I started moving my head from side to side which worked quite well until I starting feeling dizzy, everything went black and I keeled over.

Ms jb (who’s in a similar predicament) suggested moving my arm in a horizontal direction.

Works quite well.

Very quiet, too.

Not that I can hear much anyway
