Got something to say, but it's not classic related? Here's the place to discuss. Also includes the once ever-so-popular word association thread... (although we've had to start from scratch with it - sorry!)

Not Ssignois or Squant then ;) :!:

If you are not an inventive type, it suggests something fairly simple like an item of clothing or some kind of accessory; nothing too technical.

Were you involved in the pharmaceutical industry during the 1980s?

None of those, but yes, something very simple, still in use today in their millions.

My invention is invaluble for driving in the dark and really took off during the second world war when approved for use in blackouts.

That'll be another victory to the Welsh then. ;) Subject to confirmation by Mister Eye of course.


Some say that if Percy Shaw had seen that cat walking away from rather than approaching him, he'd have invented the pencil sharpener. :oops:
