£12,000 well spent

Do you worry about slipping on a wet bathroom floor? If you do you will be thankful for Health and safety bureaucrats who have done their best to find a way that will stop you from slipping on a wet bathroom floor. They spent £12,000 studying bath towels to see if you were more or less likely to slip.

Unfortunately they failed to come to any conclusions. Don’t panic because they are going to get another £12,000 to fund an extra year of research so you could get your answer sometime next year.
