Klappentext A fun and fascinating look at the weird, wonderful and wacky inventions that our Great Britain's favorite celebrities would love to invent. With contributions from Jamie Oliver, James Dyson, Peter Jones, and The Dragons among others, it's sure to amaze, confuse, and entertain! Ever wished someone would invent a flying car so you could avoid the rush hour traffic? Or a device to dress you under the duvet so you don't have to face the winter cold? Well you aren't alone! These logic-defying, bizarre, and random gadgets have a tendency to fail completely--but also heroically, magnificently, and hilariously. Among some of the inventions already proposed include: thought keyboards, metal detector shoes, hover chairs, butter pritt stick, airbags for bicycles, glow-in-the-dark slippers, and biscuits with dunking handle.
