I have here a catalogue called Essentials By Post. It appears to be stocked entirely with products that sound like they've just been rejected on Dragons' Den.

Stuff Buckets?
Dog Rocks?
Silicone Nipple Covers?
101 Things To Do In A Shed?

Oh dear God, there's a toolkit with a floral design on all the tools for the "practical modern woman". *retches*

ETA: Ahahahah page 13 - the Waterbuoy - "As seen on Dragons' Den". I kid you not. I'm happy now *sporfles*

One question about those silicone nipple covers - are they covers for silicone nipples (on, um, shelves or something?) or silicone covers for nipples? Inquiring minds and all that.

no they are actual silicon covers for actual lady-parts. Self adhesive and reusable, apparently. To "end embarrassment when wearing a t-shirt on chilly days".

hehe I've just found another product that's "as seen on Dragons' Den" too. It seems my initial impression was right.

Riiiiight. Because those dreadful bra things are just so passée?

It's a genius marketing scheme, certainly: better than the slightly more truthful "as turned down by the dragons on Dragon's Den," that they originally considered.

Written by James May, right?

It did occur to me it would probably be his ideal Christmas present, LOL

1o1 things to do in a shed? Is that from James? Sounds like something he'd do.
