Not Slippery When Wet – Water Resistant Bathmat
JML has given the term “slippery when wet†a new meaning with the launch of its new Plushy bathmat.
Using a new type of material it means that the wetter the bathmat becomes the more resistant it is. With retailers such as Asda, Homebase and Robert Dyas queuing up to stock the product it is likely to become a best seller this spring:
Developed by the consumer brand, the bathmat uses a nitrile rubber base, often favoured by supermarkets for its resistance. Lab testing found that when wet it becomes six times more resistant, meaning you can feel totally safe and secure in your bathroom.
It’s also really absorbent – holding up to two litres of water; it means you don’t have to worry about damp, squishy mats when you emerge from the shower.
The deep, thick microfibres of the Plushy set it apart from others.
It’s designed to be very soft and quick-drying. With a gorgeous, velvety feel, stepping out of the shower has never been such an indulgence.
The tough Plushy bathmat also has a sensitive side: it’s machine washable and comes in five different colours.
Retails at £11.99 from JML online, ASDA, Homebase and Robert Dyas.

ATG Media’s 7 Reasons To Visit www.Selling Antiques.co.uk

Here are seven reasons to visit the Selling Antiques website as presented by ATG Media: 1. Sellingantiques.co.uk is the UK’s largest antiques website which gives you a huge variety of options to choose from. 2. You can enter your price range so that you’ll only see antiques on budget – all other antiques are hidden from view. 3. Each antique is assigned to one of 350 categories (yes, by a human being), which makes the website neat, tidy and well organised into relevant sections. 4. You contact the antique dealer directly by telephone or email to ask questions and make the purchase. 5. A keyword search tool that actually works! 6. All antiques for sale are presented with large clear photos alongside the buying price, so you can see exactly what you’re buying clearly and simply. 7. Rather than searching through 100’s of dealers websites, the UK’s antiques dealers upload their stock to this one central website, which saves you hours or trawling time!

Help Police Save Resources on Less Urgent Call Outs
Police Chiefs are making every effort to refrain from having officers attend call outs that are considered to be less urgent cases, such as telephone harassment calls.
Those who receive such calls on a regular basis, could argue that they are as urgent as any other. However, there are now advances in technology, which can put a stop to nuisance calls of every nature, without the need for police intervention.
Better procurement is highlighted as a key way to save police funding; using new inventions that save precious police time is vital in surviving the impending cuts.
