The best thing about flying US dometic airlines is the Skymall magazine that you’ll always find tucked in between the sick bag and the safety card of the seat pocket in front of you. This is the most hilarious reading you’ll ever encounter. Clearly the producers have decided that their captive, food, drink and cigarette deprived audience will be queuing up to buy a right load of random rubbish from them.
The selection of products to buy is astonishing – each designed to solve a problem you didn’t know you had…stairs to help old dogs get onto your bed, pretend stones to cover up unsightly taps or metalwork in your garden, breathtakingly tacky ornaments, blankets with sleeves, chocolate fireguards. Ok I made the last one up but see for yourself here.
My favourites are these – an in-home traction device and excercise equipment that turns any sized pool into a training pool. Who knew you needed one?
