“In 100 meters, I’m going to talk to you in that special voice, which should let you know you’ve upset me in some way that is bound to be your fault,” so says the Sat Nag which shows you’ll never need to be without your partner again as you struggle to find your way on the road.
Yes, your car journey will never be devoid of the wonderful feelings of anger, frustration and near-on divorce. Just pop the Sat Nag on your dash and your marriage will feel right on track even if your way through the traffic isn’t. Absolutely no GPS use whatsoever but an incredibly patronising female voice…

IT'S Easter this weekend – so what better way to celebrate than with CHOCOLATE! Yes, it's the one time of the year we can all over-indulge without being accused of pigging out, well, assuming you don't go overboard and raid Woolworths on Monday for all those bargain-basement eggs that didn't sell in time for Easter Sunday.

Colour your faucets crazy with the IWOOT glow flow tap

At £14.99, you could afford…
