If I loose my mobile I can call it from the Landline, which makes it ring and I can find it. I urgently need a small device that can be attached to my purse, glasses, keys or hearing aids, (which are never where I think I left them) and will beep loudly when I press the control.

PS Come to think of it, I would probably spend half the day looking for the control confused

An upright vacuum cleaner with a cord rewind (like on cylinder models) …well why not?

Kitchen sink dish drainers with an integral cutlery drainer BIG ENOUGH for it’s purpose

Still full from dinner so can’t think of any more at the moment🤔

A device to ensure that all politicians would get an electric shock every time they lied.. 🙄

I used to have a list in my head, but some things have improved.

Supermarket trolleys now largely go in the right direction. And flow better.

Driver car seats are more adjustable.

Child car seats are better designed
Ditto child baby baths.

I will have a rethink for things that have not improved.

What would you like to see invented?
You know how Colourcatchers can go in the wash to stop your entire white wash going PINK because there is one red sock in there?
Well will somebody please market a gizmo that goes in with dark or coloured clothes and catches all those pesky shreds of the tissue you left up your sleeve please?
And why does it only happen with coloureds anyway?

What else would you like to see invented?
Dragons Den awaits!
