      Well I haven’t really invented anything, but on one of my first cars the inside handle broke (there wasn’t enough tension between the handle and the door release catch) so I cut a hole in the door fashioned a lever to the cable and door opening problem fixed! When I look back on it now it was pretty slap dash but I solved the problem and it hardly cost me anything as well!

      Am not sure I have really invented anything, apart from maybe some new exciting flavour combinations in my sandwich toastie maker.

      However I have had to be very creative at times to solve a problem, so have “invented” a new way to carry out some repair work based on mixing up other ideas that often used.

      Hmm, I’ve not invented an object or anything like that either! Although I did “invent” a ruler/protractor that you can drag around some computer programs to measure lines and angles. I think it’s pretty cool… but let’s just say I’m in no rush to patent it!
