Is this a thing now in impoverished Britain

They are £25 in most shops, like wilkos I just think it's another thing to clean though

This may be useful for preventing falls on hard concrete during frosty weather. What do you think?

Wouldn’t one that cost £25 be more of an outside doormat? To wipe your feet on, I mean, before going into the house.

I think they become quite slippery when they get damp, so might cause more falls.

I thought they were like the old fashioned woven plastic rugs people used to have in their kitchens when I was a kid so 600 and odd quid sounds extortionate to me.

Nandad, I had hoped the rugs might be made of that rubbery stuff they use on kids' playgrounds, may be with addition of roughened surfaces.

You could just hose it down….

Flexible Friend! I like these mats! Dandycord was it?.They were completely washable, dried easily, and crumbs fell through the holes so all you needed to do was lift them and sweep underneath when you felt like it.

Some people are starving and others are buying £640 rugs for outdoors. Lol.

Truly mindbogling

Outdoor rugs are a necessary evil if you have composite decking as it gets so very hot in this weather and as many places now have hosepipe bans it’s not possible to cool them down with water.

They look stylish in outdoor seating/dining areas.

??.

Something you never realised you needed until someone convinced you that you did.

Another tripping hazard and one more thing to clean.

Whatever next!

Perhaps my eyesight’s going, but none of those cost £640?

I don't think my indoor seating/dining areas look very stylish either, GrannyGravy!

I would like some stylish patio slabs, though.

Is this a wind-up? Some/a lot of us are more concerned about how we are going to pay energy bills and buy food!

Since we are not all on exactly the same income some people will be able to afford optional luxuries that others cannot.

The same person who indulges in such 'luxuries' may also be a generous donor to their local food bank and work hardin other ways to reduce inequalities in society. Outdoor rugs are truly a dispensible luxury, no one is going to die or even become ill if they do not have one, so why shouldn't those who want and can afford them, not have them without other people being outraged?

Why oh why ?? I agree nadateturbe it’s disturbing isn’t it

Mine is dreadful at the moment, we are awaiting a date from builders for major works to commence (second time in four years) so the decking around the house is about to be removed it is a health/trip hazard along with being home to several family of foxes.

(Have recently lost small GC under it which they thought was hilarious, fortunately so did AS and his wife)

Not a wind up, I think. It's simply a fact of life that the rich buy things the rest of us can't afford while we contemplate our food and energy bills. Like Sunak's swimming pool.

My daughter has one for the dog, as the slabs outside heat up and he'd burn his paws without it. I haven't asked her what she paid for it, but I'm guessing it will be closer to £40 than £640.

I have a feeling that over the coming months that anyone posting about purchases/holidays/dining out/building & decorating will be swiftly reminded that many cannot afford to eat or heat.
