A USE for all that sink collected hair.
An inventive Aussie farmer,
Jonathon Arkins, has found a way
to outwit foxes looking to prey on
his lambs, by stuffing stockings
with human hair.
According to reports, Arkins
devised the idea after predators
devastated his flocks last year.
To achieve fox-free flocks,
Arkins collects hair from
hairdressing salons, stuffs it into
stockings and ties the stockings
to fence posts which surround
his lambing ewes and lambs.
So far Arkins has said the
stockings have worked, with their
human scent keeping foxes out of
his paddocks.
“Foxes hate the smell of
humans,” he said.
SOLVING sleepless nights.
London’s Crowne Plaza is
hoping to offer its guests a quiet
night’s sleep, by trialling a ‘Snore
Absorption Room’, for snorers
and their suffering partners.
To create the rooms, Crown
Plaza, has used egg-shell foam
and a sound absorbing headboard.
Guests also enjoy an antisnoring
pillow, as well as a device
which encourages the snorer to
sleep on their side.
“We’ve all been there - lying
wide awake at three o’clock in
the morning burying our head
under a pillow to drown out our
partner’s snoring,” said a hotel
the spokesperson.
