Things you'd like inventing that haven't been invented yet

[Accy cyclist]

How about vehicles,mainly cars that self indicate when they're turning,pulling out etc. By the way most drive these days you'd think the drivers of many vehicles on our roads thought they'd already been invented!

An M&S woolen sweater ( made in Mauritius or wherever) that doesn't either shrink or turn into a mini-skirt after two washes.

Tut tut Mr Slowmotion. You've visited my thread about washing 'dry clean only'(and woolens) thread. You should know by now how to wash such garments!🧐

or smug jumpers that fit like a mini skirt

I'm sure Madam Poppy wouldn't mind your boil wash jumpers...

The concept was visualised way back in the 70's but I'm still waiting to see a working prototype

Just read the washing instructions on the label and where it probably says " Hand Wash Only " believe it really does mean hand wash only.

Having fallen over getting out of the shower this week and knocking myself out for a bit I suddenly realised that now I live alone if I was to really hurt myself no one would know and in lockdown potentially for weeks.

I’m an IT person and not that old surely I could set up something that triggers an alert message to a friend if not checked in for say 24hrs as a middle aged very fit single man it’s not something that crossed my mind but it’s so easily done, I never thought I could or would slip and fall over and definitely not smack my head on the sink in the process that could have ended very badly.

That would only work with the satellite in geostationary orbit, otherwise the pipe will end up moving about and potentially wrapped around the Earth a few times.

And geostationary only works over the equator. What does the sucking?

Edit: rhetorical

I too live alone and have a fear of serious sudden illness or a serious accident and no one finding me for ages. I've thought about something like this. https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/socia...ersonal-alarms-security-systems-and-keysafes/

I would like somebody to invent a power tool(eg drill) case which had a built in compartment for holding a box set of drill bits and also room enough to get the power lead back in easily and still able to close the lid on the first attempt!

I think all the moulded tool cases are designed around the American two pin plug and when the importers fit a UK 3 pin plug the difficulties arise.

Yes, this!

My drill case has a moulded section that holds a UK plug no problem, but getting the lead coiled up and the lid shut is like something from the Crystal Maze...
