Re: Inventions
 

Agree with Willow, it's ok thinking up great ideas, but finding away to put it in to practise is a hell of a lot harder.
Did anyone see The Lion's Den on BBC2 recently, all these people had to sell their ideas to a panel of investors. lf they liked it they got up to 15OK of the investors own money. Some were really good, some were awful- a cardboard, folding deckchair/ table/ brolly contraption, that was so flimsy it fell to bits.

Re: Inventions
 

what idiots invented a cardboard chair. what use does that have aprt from being able to fold up and it will be light.

Re: Inventions
 

My idea is for a mobile washing line. You stick 4 twelve foot poles at each corner of your car and then sling your washing line in between them. Then get some step ladders and hang your washing up. Next step, go for a 20 minute drive round Accy (being careful not to drive in front of the town hall) and Hey Presto! Your washing is dry!

Is this enviromentally friendly or what?

Re: Inventions
 

Exactly! They wanted to sell 'em for 20 quid a pop, to people sat on the hill at Wimbledon, watching Timmy getting whipped.

Re: Inventions
 

how would you see where you were going.

Re: Inventions
 

Don't stop to fold your washing you'll get a ticket.

Re: Inventions
 

i bet they didn't sell any. if you sat on it would just squash. AND £20 FOR A PIECE OF CARDBOARD WHAT TYPE OF THICK SH*T WOULD PAY £20 FOR A PIECE OF CARDBOARD WHICH IS SHAPED LIKE A CHAIR. whoever came up with that idea has some serious mental issues.

Re: Inventions
 

Idiot! They're 12 ft poles....your washing is hung above the level of the windscreen. By my calculation, with the right line rigging, one 20 minute journey would be enough to dry all a weeks washing for a family of four.

Re: Inventions
 

That was one of the crap ideas that didn't get any investment!
A good idea that was funded, was a guy that had an agreement to put kiosks in every London tube station [about 240,] which sold brollies for a pound. Fair enough, but he could also sell advertising on the kiosk, which was the size of a photo booth.
The posibilities there are enormous, he won the most investment in the series.

Re: Inventions
 

i guess it could work if you wanted to drive round with a washing linbe on your car. and showing everybody your underwear.

Re: Inventions
 

Why restrict it to your own Y fronts? You could take the neighbours washing out for a drive as welll....in fact, you could even have "Washing Cruising Parties", where all the girlies drove round Accy in one lot of cars and all the lads did the same and everyone chats each other up. It beats bashing each other over the head with Alcopop bottles every saturday night. people would come from miles around....

Were'nt you the one that was complaining about there being nowt to do in Accy?

Re: Inventions
 

yeh true i suppose. good invention.

Re: Inventions
 

Thank you. I'm even thinking of making a movie of it, once it gets started....I'm going to call it "Accrington Graffitti" & I shall be writing to Spielburg to see if he wants to direct.

Re: Inventions
 

making a movie of what.

My invention in action.
