It's really annoying when having a bath and trying to pick up the bar of soap that you've dropped. The little bastard always slips away and ends up a long way from where you thought it was going to be. Repeatedly lunging into the water interferes with the other things that you are doing - reading, having a cup of tea or a glass of wine, dozing etc.
I've come up with a solution that I think is well worth patenting - Velcro gloves.
Yes, yes I hear you say- there are already similar items in the market but these are heavy and created for horse riding, gardening and other active pursuits.
My idea is to combine some light surgical-type gloves with a velcro-like gripping substance on the palms.

And Robert is your dad's brother.
This could not only be a valuable addition to the bathroom but a serious earner for my dotage.
