Inventions - why did it take soooo long to make it?

The self-adhesive peel and stick stamp - why did it take until 1974/1993/2001 to invent these 😕 .

I think that tone of post is totally unwarranted. Go back to elitetrader.com if you want to post such offensive material.

Speaking of inventions, have you seen this?

Compressed air powered vehicles (including locomotives!) have been around for many years and it looks like they might get going this time. Makes me wonder if it is possible to trickle compress air locally using a renewable energy device and then you could fill up without using any fossil fuels at all.

Thats a good invention tune.

I invented a flying machine years ago but to get it off the ground ( excuse the pun ) is almost impossible - cost etc
I see the Yanks have had a government funded department for decades to get over just that problem by providing technical help and finance. C'mon Gordon a good idea for you !!

Gordons too busy working out what to do with all the money he's nicked from the pension funds over the years. If you start seeing new cars and apartments for all MP's as well as 3 months holidays that may give you all a clue..............................
