it’s this thing you can use to line your shower curtain. It’s quite tough, a bit heavier than a shower curtain, and sometimes even has posh techno properties like anti-mildew action etc. I think their generally beige; you can’t get them translucent with fish on them or anything, that’s for your shower curtain. There, how’s that for a first post?

On a more serious note, I suppose if I was being a bit of a protagonist, I could propose that some of the ecologically concious and anti-consumerist actions that people have started taking may have directly impacted on the economy and contributed to the current ‘downturn’, for want of a better, more descriptive phrase. Of course I’d argue against that by stating that if the economy is reliant on the wasteful practices so prevalent in many of our societies that it’s a false economy (i.e. not very economical) and not one that we should support. I’m sure this is a discussion that’s been had before though, so please feel free to fill me in on how it typically advances. Thanks. dp
