An end to rummaging?

Is this the end of a skill, of an art perfected by women the world over, honed by a lifetime of necessity? Are the days of walking, head down, bumping into unsuspecting passers-by and tripping over one's own feet at last coming to an end? Will we no longer spend inordinate amounts of time with our hands thrust into a dark abyss, are the days of the missing lipstick and apparently 'lost' keys gone forever?

It would seem that all of these activities might soon be a thing of the past, incidents relegated only to the history books, for no longer will we have to upend

our handbag (purse for readers over the pond) onto a table with embarrassment as others look on in utter amazement at items displayed, in frantic search of some necessity of life importance.

Those days are soon to be gone courtesy of a student from Brunel Universtiy who has invented 'Sun Trap', a solar powered handbag! This is an invention of a magnitude never before seen, releasing us all from the daily searching we have long become frustratedly accustomed too. Solar panels on this little gem charge an internal battery and the zipper acts as a switch, hey presto, open your bag and it's lining illuminates for your convenience!

A heaven sent item for women everywhere, the end of a lifetime's rummaging, the end to those nasty surprises lurking, forgotten somewhere in a corner of the bottom-less pit and an end, oh joy, to the days of reaching for one's PDA/pen/CV at an interview or other important meeting and inadvertently hurling a tampon, that has become unknowingly attached, across the room with magnificent aplomb..... to land at some suited and booted gent's feet!

All we need now is to get Ms Kilfidder, to hook up with Louis Vuitton!
