New style beach sheet/towels - LATEST CRAZE!

I have keeping an eye out for this latest craze for a while, but keep finding them at around the £19.99 price. Too much for my hols!

They are apparently extremely popular this year, fold down to a small disc and then whoom! open up into a fantastic beach matt!

However, have a found a site selling them for just £9.99 and BOGOF!!!!

    Forgive my cynicism, but I never found the old school beach towels that difficult to use to be honest.

    Poundland! I doubt very, very much that if you find these in poundland, they will be very good quality. You might get a couple of weeks out of them.

    I tried posting something for people who like fads/gadgets etc, and it's a fantastic offer, but as usual you get the usual Victor Meldrew's on here!

    If you got something free, you'd complain that it you wanted two!
  • yes, I had some like this last year :cool:

    Trouble is you need a degree to fold them back up! ... although that could just be me :o

    I agree, but towels collect moisture/sand and do not fold up to be easily carried etc. Plus, everyone has a towel, not everyone has one of these!!

    Can be used anywhere really, I like them! Just thought others might too!

    Getting boring posting on here when all people ever do is try to put down your message, no wonder there are fewer people posting nowadays.

    Is it made of vinyl?

    What happens after a dip in the sea....you're probably gonna slide/spin around on it like a break dancer.

    Not very good for drying yourself with it either eh?

    May as well take a bin liner...that folds up neat in your pocket too, doesn't dry you either, looks just as stupid *but* only costs 5p.

    I don't belieeeeeeeeve it.
