Are you off Your Head!

Now, if I was about to enter the Dragon’s Den I’d make sure I was taking in a truly great invention that they simply wouldn’t be able to refuse to invest in. So, I cringed as I watched the lady last night who presented them with ‘Shuc’, her Portable Shower Head! Basically, this was an attachment to take away with you so that in the event of staying somewhere where the shower head does not have a hook attached to the wall, you can attach Shuc to the wall tiles and have somewhere to hook the shower head up while you wash. The Dragon’s were visibly horrified by what they perceived to be a ludicrous idea. Peter Jones told the poor woman she needed ‘a good shake’, Theo kindly said he appreciated the issue she was talking about but she had invented something that would only overcome one small part of the problem, because if you stayed somewhere with the shower head attached to the bath taps, you probably wouldn’t have a shower screen or curtain either, so by using the Shuc, you’d still have the problem of the water splashing out all over the place. Duncan Bannantyne said what we were all thinking - why not just stay in a decent hotel and then you won’t have a problem! Don’t get me wrong, I recognise that it can be a pain when you can’t hang the shower head up, but personally I have more of a problem with the showers that are fixed up to the wall, that you have to stand under and can’t remove to rinse those hard to reach places! But I suppose my main issue with the concept of a portable Shower Head that you can take on your travels with you, is that when I go away anywhere, whether it be on holiday or to a friend’s house for the weekend, I already have a huge list of things to remember (kids don’t travel light), so am I really going to concern myself with packing my Shuc, just in case? I think not! So, I think it’s safe to say “I’m out”!
