FOR those who feel weighed down by piles of laundry, it could be a godsend.

Scientists have developed a fabric which cleans itself - raising the possibility of shirts that can be worn to work day after day and underwear that never needs changing.

It echoes the plot of the 1951 Ealing comedy The Man In The White Suit, in which Alec Guinness played a scientist who invents a fabric that never gets dirty or wears out.

He faces angry opposition from both textile workers, who fear his discovery will cost them their jobs, and factory owners, who are worried that it will dent their profits.

They take him prisoner to stop word of his discovery leaking out and chase him through the streets when he escapes.

Experts predict, however, that the Hong Kong-based researchers behind this invention will get a more positive reaction.

Everything wears out eventually.... Even indistrucable underpants, What about if u just did a dump in them, is it going to clean that up????
