This is worth watching.....

Nearly bake-off for technology / inventors .... "Clever men and women in sheds"

www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b084zttn/the-big-life-fix-with-simon-reeve-episode-1

If only it sparked the same level of interest amongst the public as bake-off et al, it might actually do the UK plc the world of good

Cheers

Sean

Great. Heroes.

Shows what can be done with skunk works mentality and lateral thinking - as well as needing heroes to work it out !
