But you can see it's water in the bottle yes? My only point was this covers up the bottle so they could be sat with fizzy pop which as you point out would no doubt be banned by the thought police.

The problem that is, that once you have spent your life savings on kitting out the kids for a new term at school, the lunch box and schoolbags etc usually get bought at the same time. Now, personally speaking,. i''ll be ****ed if I am going to pay a premuim for "concentrate" gear at a total of £50, when I can go into woolies and get everything needed for a tenner..

There are plenty of parents will spend too much. Just look at Mama's and Papa's - cool catalogue filled with models who have never been near a baby () and product that is three times the cost of stuff in Woolies and yet the place is always heaving with Yummy Mummies cooing over how lovely it is.

Thats prolly true actually..! you average ugg bedecked Wyanne and Chesney wouldnt be seen dead in Wollies

Probably lap this kind of stuff up

Yep exactly Rannoch all about positioning and not price. I didnt understand why the dragons were shocked at the retail prices, he's selling them in JL for god's sake, their typical demographic isnt going to be the same as your average aldi or lidl shopper!

Me Im still in shock at the woman spending 200k to solve a problem that simply does not exist.

I thought that this was what successful marketing was all about?

Absolutely - get it right and you have the Walkman...


...get it wrong and you have something that you will never ever need unless you happen to be in a 2 star hotel in Budapest and then for the same money you can have some seventeen year old honey to hold the shower for you

A clear indication of age there

I think there is a lack of shower holders in european hotels. Although, as one of the dragons pointed out, they're only designed for use in the bath to rinse whilst sitting. I guess if there was a need for a shower-head mount then hotels would have them.
You could say the same about lack of storage/shelving to accommodate toiletries in some hotels! If an inventor was to solve all these little problems then we'd all end up taking a spare suitcase full of crap to solve these "issues".
The item would also be too big to justify packing in a typical holiday bag plus in some cases you'd arrive at the hotel and may not need it.

I remember being advised to take a plug to Russia when I was working there 10yrs ago as the baths and sinks didn't have them. I did buy one only to find it was too small

Trendsetting - that's me


PS There is a proper marketing answer which is nothing to do with age but this is Scoobynet so why waste it
