This is really clever invention
it goes out of site behind a bath
once it flows throw the Overflow - it stops the water.

No wonder Hotels are using it
the amount of damage a overflowing bath does.

Happy: James Barnham holds his gadget
that will be fitted at The Dorchester.

They are sometimes pompous
I keep thinking of the Harry Enfield version.

I would have it fitted.

It is Easy to get distracted
while a bath is being run.
So I think he should get a Award
as well.

Only thing is, they did. As it says in the article, four dragons showed an interest and he got a £150,000 offer from Theo Paphitis and Deborah Meaden.

He was the one that turned down the offer.

arista needs to edit his thread title. :whistle:

Sorry had to Re-Edit heading.
They did offer a amount but it was 2 of them
so he was bang on right to reject that offer.
they would have taken a Chunk of his money.
