spy holes in wooden doors, drill, fit, £35. "NEXT"

and its easy to find your prey, just look for wooden front doors without spy holes. mwahhh mwahhhh mwahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

some guy on the business forums did that, he's a millionaire now and invests in new inventions.

Actually i'm in the process of starting something part-time which is not related to c.c. not sure if it will work or not but it is not going to cost me a lot, basically a mail order / internet product, but like a lot of people once you have found an idea you don't like to tell others what it is or who your suppliers are in case someone copies your idea.

If you want idea's etc try looking on ukbusinessforums co uk or thewholesaleforums co uk  for some idea's.   :)

I think you get the best new ideas from travelling. You either see a service being offered that you don't get in the UK or a product that again, you haven't seen before. There is one near me called Yogberries {or something like that}. A couple went travelling, saw this shop selling a mix of fresh yoghurt and fresh berries and hey presto, came home opened the first one and already have a small chain going.
