Whoopee Cushions - the latest "must-have" interior decor accessory !
IKEA, bastion of Scandinavian good taste and the most frustrating checkout queues in the world, are now selling them in their children's furnishings range for 9 pounds each (30 x 40 cm, furry and with big eyes).
I love the way IKEA give all of their items personal names, as if they are characters from the sagas: the whoopee cushions go by the name of "Spratt". [Other favourite characters of mine from the latest Ikeasaga-book are "Pussla, the plastic drape", "Knoppe, the footstool" and "Klappsta, the armchair".]
