Went to Robinsons recently and just as we arrive the heavens opened and it just belted down,

At the store entrance there was a small stand with long slim plastic bags hanging on it.

The plastic bags were about 6in wide and 3ft long and the idea is you put your wet umbrella in the bag to carry so you don't drip water all over the shop floor.

Neat Idea, never seen that before

I wondered where i mislaid em,betcha they all gone so no nookie for me.

"6in wide and 3ft long" I never though that I am small....but 6 inch wide and 3 ft long is....is...is....I have no words

Ripped open and used as motorsai helmets on the way home.

Indeed...

they are referred to as "American sized"

and now I know where to get my resupply, when my stateside stash runs low.

They've been using these things for years in Singapore

Many of the major office and other buildings, including Pacific Place, have been doing this for years.

It helps to prevent water being dropped all over the shiny tile floors and causing a major slipping hazard when we have rain.

They normally put down mats inside the entrance so that people can knock the water off their shoes.

We also do that at the entrance to our house as we have a tiled portico which can be a serious slipping hazard when wet!
