What would you invent?

A time machine.

It would need to have built-in protection against the perils of altering history, but I would love to go back to places I know and see them through the ages, as well as to be part of things like whatever happened at Stonehenge.

A machine to beam myself up and place me somewhere else.
Then we could avoid airports etc. And embarrassing situations.
Remember "Beam me up, Scotty", from Star Trek?

Yes Henetha, I'd love a Transporter. I've always hated flying and actively avoid holidays now because of it. IF I could be tranported painlessly to my destination, I'd travel a lot more.

Same here, GagaJO... So we need someone to invent this!

Honeysuckleberries I bought a battery operated brush from Lakeland with several different heads.

A clever way to access all the underground cables, pipes etc, instead of digging up the road, repairing it, then digging it all up again a few months later.

A washing machine that dries and irons clothes ready to wear.

A transporter sounds great GagaJo

A dust eating carpet.

Blossoming can we add pet hair to your dust eating carpet?

I'm with you on the all singing and dancing washing machine CraftyGranny

Absolutely CraftyGranny

A stealth boomerang zapper machine that whenever a person causes another pain they immediately get the exact pain inflicted back on themselves. It could be called InstantKarma.

I want an automatic exerciser, that will keep me fit with no effort on my part. I’ll lie on the sofa while it does it’s magic each day.

First I would get my invention patented before anyone else could pinch it until it's a secret.

I'm with a transporter machine which takes you to places without having to fly drive etc.
Oh wants something that can mend out holes 3rd without causing massive hold ups.

A cure for blindness, my lovely sister-in-law is nearly completely blind now and it has affected her quality of life so much.

A microwave with a clear screen so I can see when my porridge starts to boil over.
A proper self cleaning oven.
Frozen peeled shallots.
A TV function the blocks out unnecessary sex scenes and swearing.

A self cleaning bath.
And a (properly) self cleaning oven.
A self-washing kitchen floor would be nice, too.
And a robot vacuum cleaner that could do the stairs and the upstairs, not to mention shifting heavy furniture to vacuum underneath.
I don’t want much, do I?

Nannee49. You need to find the Red Dwarf series, episode Justice.
They visit a penal colony where you get whatever you were intending to dish out to someone else.
Works really well.....

Thanks Santana sounds like just the episode for me

A cure for cancer without a doubt.
