There's a world of a difference between the "wouldn't it be lovely if....." and knowing how to go about creating the thing and patenting it. I remember ages ago my late hubby saying wouldn't it be great if you had clothes pegs that could warn you when it started raining - then not long after that we saw on TV someone had invented them. There's no way we would have been able to think it all through, let alone the cost of prototypes etc and they don't seem to have caught on anyway because I've never seen them in the shops.

I'd like an invention that can get the kids to go to sleep when they go to bed and not still be sneaking up and down an hour later.
