Yes, it's that time of year when the tube is full of people carrying bizarre mop-like contraptions and lots useless samples from the
Ideal Home Show in Earls Court. I have to admit it, I can't face going to another one after last year's show. Remind me again why I should queue for 30 minutes to get into a recreation of a Barratt Box? And what exactly do I need with a "miracle cloth" able to absorb 20 times it's own weight in liquid? Or a "juice extraction system" capable of spinning at speeds in excess of 4000rpm to extract 90% of all juice? Mind you, I was almost tempted by those "Rock Speakers" for your garden, the one's disguised as well, rocks... Perfect for those summer days when you want to bring out the Led. Or maybe not. As for the mop, it's one thing my ideal home can do without.
