I like the idea 👍 but I think £30 tops not £50 but then I’m a tight OAP 🙄

I like the idea of this, but do you need something to put that in so the underside (and sides) don’t drop their mankyness on the carpets when you get home? It is great holding all the manky clothes in the bag, but if you have chucked it on the ground to allow you to strip off, then the outside of the bag is going to be dirty as well and when that dries it’ll flake off.

A quiet day in the office for me (it isn’t, but I’m avoiding some work annoyance for 10 minutes!) so I’m clearly letting the random thought generater go wild!

Cough IKEA bag cough

This is a great idea, but a big flexy plastic bucket from Tesco does a similar job cost me £8 and can be washed or rinsed down easier…

 

Also – how did either of you not sing “I’m an Alutraaaaa Dirty Bag bayyyybeeeeeeee!”?!?!?!

I don’t think I would buy this at £50- a foam mat and an IKEA bag or trug bucket is much cheaper and more versatile.

Does look well executed otherwise. 

 

@explorerboy Damn it, we missed that opportunity. And damn you, because I’m also now singing ‘he’s an explorer boy, and he wasn’t good enough for heeerrrrr’.

I think yesterday was me!? Amazing. I’ll get sitting on a bit of tin foil on a carpeted step in anticipation…

Another useless bit of tat designed to separate the long pressed cyclist from their cash.

If I win, please re-pick, because I’ve no use for such a thing.

That reminds me of a versatile snap-fastener box I got for a car some years ago. Waterproof, could be flat, tray-like, or a kind of carry box. It had cut outs in the side to pick it up with. Might repurpose it as it’s just holding some junk in the cellar now.

Nice. Simple. Effective. £50 ain’t what it used to be with that inflation malarkey.

@stwhannah unsure whether to pass comment but great to see that my SO is not alone in picking warm underclothes.

Can I just point out that this could be a great picnic bag… folds out to be a wipe clean tabletop.
