What if its raining behind you as well. The description is so bad it implies only tummy protection.

I'd *love* some bionic spheres, especially 3D ones.

I wonder if "The 3D-BionicSphere® System on the back guarantees optimal temperature regulation on the jacket's interior." translates as "we've cut a few holes in it"?

Is Domestos's new 3-product "Toilet Cleaning System" just an admission that their actual bleach (Kills all known germs. Dead! as if there was another way for them to be after being killed.) doesn't do what it claims?

I think a toilet cleaning system' will offer you the option of a domestos branded jiffy cloth rather than a non-proprietary bog brush. The advantages are probably hard to quantify, and even harder to pay for.

Anyway, back to running-ish. My new Lakeland 50 approved waterproof from Mountain Equipment has been made using 'Stealth Construction Techniques Throughout'.

Its bright red, with neon yellow bits.

I'm pasting this on Smell, Grammar Pedants and Meaningless Product Descriptions in the hope that someone else will find it as funny as I do...
