What needs to be invented that hasn’t been yet?

We need car radio that we can pause. There was a quiz on the radio earlier and I waited ages for the answer but eventually had to go to a meeting. I wish I could pause it and start where I’d turned the engine off. Same as a rewind for when you start the car at the end of a song you love.

What else needs to be invented?

Earplugs that actually block out all sound. I've tried so many and none work for my husband's incessant snoring.

Or maybe someone could invent quiet men.

An app where you open it and emits a STFU or stop screaming to loud, moaning people and screaming kids.

A crumpet toaster

It's not glamorous but my granny and her pals all wore rain mates, basically a plastic see through headscarf to protect their hairdo's in the rain. Maybe they're due a modern redesign!

A pill to reverse grey hair.

We had this, and the Corona man that sold raspberryade!

There is / was one Esperanto

These exist.

A sensible business management team to sort the NHS out the shocking chaos is ridiculous. I feel from speaking to staff and my recent experience in the last year it’s more to do with bad planning mismanagement doesn’t matter how much money they throw at it if the management and procedures don’t change, it’s gonna stay fucked.

@Mrsgreen100 Tell me about that

Plus someone with medical knowhow needs to schedule the theatres and other treatment rooms.

Last week I had an appointment for further removal of a basel cell carcinoma (slow growing cancer) near eye, after biopsy revealed the bcc. Was scheduled to have in the treatment room. My procedure is too complex to be done there. Had to be done in an operating theatre. Very kindly rescheduled it for yesterday, though that meant last on the list.

Another thing for something to be reinvented whilst on the subject of the NHS - the car park to the Leicester Royal Infirmary. Last week, I noticed that the top level of the multistorey car park was 80% empty and some spaces on the floor below. It took my DF an hour and 20 mins to drive a third of a mile from the turn off from the main road to the sole car park entrance. The problem is the bottleneck at the entrance. I do feel sorry for anyone who lives with no PT, can't use PT but not qualify for hospital transport or needs to have regular treatment. My DF was about 7 cars from the entrance when I rang him and got to car 4 cars to go. He was able to avoid driving into the car park.

The two other hospitals in the city have two entrances and no issues with parking.

We used to have three buses an hour going past LRI and now its hourly. The other bus, get off the nearest bus stop and its one of those walks you think it takes 10 mins but in reality - its 25-30 mins. We are looking what buses are going past LRI and park on a side street in future visits.

Yes!

That would be no good for me. Half the time my phone says my face is not recognised 🤔🤔

It already exists. It is called esperanto

Compulsory truth implants for politicians. If you want to be one, you have to have this implant implanted and will be unable to lie to the electorate. Full transparency.

I'm voting for that one, @dontcryformeargentina!

Me three. It won't happen though because against their human rights or whatever. As would be slipping sodium amytal into their morning coffee.

Alcohol free wine and prosecco that actually tastes like the real deal. Also they should sell the alcohol versions in half size bottles.

Oh and a universal bar/restaurant app so you don't need to have a million different ones.

An app when I press it silences all phones, tablets etc. They won’t work again unless EarPods, headphones etc are connected.

A temporary stairlift that doesn’t have to be fitted. A chair with robot legs that can climb stairs, maybe?

Have I just invented it 😁

That would be really good for people with temporary mobility issues like a broken leg .
I'd back your invention !
