Isn't that going to cost a fortune in listing fees?

Apparently the £10m isn't enough! Laughing

Make it a ridiculous price will get more attention. Doubt he actual wants that much for it, easy way to publicise his idea.

The whole concept is stupid, no one is gonna hand over anything, not even a tenner, without actually knowing what the idea it is hes selling.

''here you go sir, your £50m... so, whats your idea?''

''its this... a big wallpaper scraper''

''I'll have my £50m back please''

''no''.

If it was a viable business idea, he would do it himself. Rolling Eyes

But no-one's going to hand over £50mill just because it might work, there's a lot more than that involved, obviously. If it actually works, he should be going to major investors and conglomerates and pitching his idea to them, and then he should still maintain a majority sharehold.

His genius idea is to probably ban chewing gum.

Well done einstein. Laughing

Funnily enough i was at uni with a guy who's dad was a physics professor at southampton uni who got paid a lot of money by an airport to think of a way of removing chewing gum from floors.

His solution was to cool the chewing gum by pouring very cold anti-freeze on it, it becomes brittle and you hit it with a hammer and hoover up the bits.

simple but effective.

My local council have a big power washer on a trailer that blasts it off quite easily. Bit cheaper than that too!
