Do not delay with ideas

Options
About 15 years ago I had an idea to use high pressure water to clean the toilet instead of a brush, made some drawings but did not proceed.
Just saw on AOL news someone with the same idea has made a high pressure washer to clean toilets.
Just shows if you have an idea follow it through

    Oh I have done this - several times, had a brainwave, not followed through, then watched someone else clean up.

    The best was my late husbands........he saw the need for a method of comparing insurance quotes, did nothing about it.

    The rest is history.:rotfl:

    This time next year Rodders...........;)

    Years ago thought of sharing the commission on mortgages (which were HUGE in the 80's ) between me and them .... Sort of ended up being done by topcashback etc

    I guess the difficulty isn't thinking of the ideas which may work but rather actually following through with them..

    You may have needed a design, not just an idea?
