RIP
Being Southampton based, the boat show is a calendar essential. One only mentions this now as my better half has been rifling through her store of "essential" items she has for the yacht.
Two particular offenders have piqued my "interest" or ire, if you will, and are indicative of that particular psychology of going to a show with no intention of buying an actual boat, ie; the need to bring something, ANYTHING back.
And so to the wife. Had I known, I would have headed straight to B + Q beforehand for at least two wheelbarrows, one for the "must haves", and another for the brochures...
She spent an indecent amount of money on clothing items, and the two offending objects below. They have no particular defects themselves, indeed they fulfil their design brief excellently. BUT how many times will they ever be used.
Diablo, bloody good.
Diablo, once the novelty has worn off, bloody hard work.
As for that beer can topper. It is utterly useless on a bottle of ale or atop a whisky tumbler.
Looking at these offending objects, I have to wonder what wonders inhabit the dark corners of your drawers, sheds and lockers that you purchased in a similar fug of boatiness
