Do try this at home

You'd nearly feel sorry for ironing board makers. How on earth can they be expected to jazz up what's is, let's face it, a very dull-looking, dreadfully utilitarian product. Brabantia is certainly trying, even if its timing in choice of a dot.com theme is a little off. Their new iron, which features a cover sprinkled with wwws and other Internet references, is called the dot.com and is aimed at young people leaving home for the first time. Although if you are a parent and have managed to get your offspring to bring an ironing board with them in their slight from the nest you probably should start doing some serious worrying about your child because it is rather unnatural. The dot.com is available from Brabantia stockists nationwide.
