Hey, that looks practical too! It could most probably be used to "seal windows and doors" in the event of an emergency, as our glorious Administration once recommended.

With graded filling for your comfort and peace of mind: finest eiderdown at the 'Low' end, right up to the ultra-secure 'Severe' stuffing of orthopaedically certified lead bricks. Dynamically adjust your child's night-time protection to meet the nebulous threats posed to our country by the shadowy forces of evil!
