Floatation Suit.

Aha! So do you reckon a regular little squirt of WD40 on the fastening would be a good idea, or will that adversely affect the plastic zip.....this is getting complicated.

 

Mr. Onions favours Little Feathers's suggested method of testing...good job I've got a big bath. - might steam up the camera lense too, which would be a blessing.

You could always do a live web show for us then we can all see if the suit works or not.

And a dead web show if it doesn't?????

I think you should wear it proudly in some major City Centre with a fountain. Splash around and generally act like a child. Whoop and chant and reply to noone with a sensible answer when they ask why you are doing this. It,ll be fun if nothing else.

Newt:

Swimming Pool and get Mr. Onions to video it

 

Good suggestion Apache. Let me add a little on to it. Start in street clothes then down to the all-together and suit up. That way the Mr. could sell copies of the video and offset the cost of the suit.

I'd agree with that! lol.

It was just that when I was on the rigs we used to fly out by chopper and had to wear survival suits, no one bothered to zip them up as it was too hot. There was an exception though, one of the choppers ditched in the sea and when the guys went to zip up there suits the metal zips had rusted in the open position as luck would have it there was a rescue boat within minutes of them

My dad said the same thing to me when he read this, he is an oil rig designer.

Andy, that's the best suggestion so far, I love it. There are three possible sites here in Bristol, and the weather forecast isn't bad for this weekend!
