Laughs Made in China Pt 2

If you guessed the indispensable

"CLOTH SHAVE" you were right!


"Fabric pill remover in a convenient larger size shaves fabric surf acesto remove pills and fuzz from clothing. u'polstry, Much more !"

I have two sweaters that seriously need to be "shaved" and when I told Alister that I saw it in a 10 hreeven store he said - "great, I always wanted one." ??? He wasn't being sarcastic.

It works okay - the batteries don't really stay in - so its better to not "recover" and just hold the batteries in place as the machine "instantly move" and you shave away pills.

Hope you all got a laugh, or at least a smile from the English-ese.

Besides the occasional find - you are always in for a good laugh.
