"jog on" - love it

I am not Dragons Den - but I might be able to offer some opportunity to develope your idea in to something real. You guys can sit on your ideas and never give them a chance, or we can talk and see what we can do toghether.

Your choice.

Why don't you tell us which company you're trying to solicit ideas for and what kind of split we can expect from the sales of our ideas?

As an ex auotmotive R&D engineer who spent 20 years coming up with ideas and "thinking outside the box", I just can't break the habit and have a box full of ideas. But if you think I'm just gonna give them away for free on a forum....well, jog on.

Love it!

How about some kind of internet based discussion group where you could ask for ideas then use them as your own...

A couple of things customers/5WWs think are already standard equipment:
The 'fault code reader' - you simply rock up at the customer's house, plug in this gadget which looks like a MFT and it tells you what the fault is and how to fix it.
Then there's the 'cable mole' - load a roll of T&E onto a cable jack, clip this 'mole' onto the end, drill a hole in the back of the accessory, and the 'cable mole' burrows back to the CU with the cable in tow, via safe zones.

What about replacing that useless tool Greg Barker with something useful.
A sack of horsesxxx might do, at least that could go on the roses.

Do you mean this one?
I've seen something about that before, the problem being ferrets can only really pull cables through pre-existing ducting and not actually burrow through walls.
They're probably not too clued up on safe zones either.
