Flushable Toilets, and sewers.

The western toilet has my vote for Worst Invention - for a human colon and a male prostate. One of the most ill conceived devices ever for human physiology yet forced on every home in the UK.

Best invention is easy: the toaster.

The motorised vehicle.

Just think how long it would take to walk or ride your horse to the Amex and imagine trying to get to your horse as 30,000 others are....

Imagine the dung

Arguably the worst bicycle ever made, woeful to ride and use, in fact dangerous . . .although they did look good. a Grifter was a vastly superior machine, swiftly superceded by the BMX @ half the weight and triple the agility.

There are millions of BMX bikes are still out there . . . you only see choppers in shop windows.

Grifters were toss, which is why you didn't see THE RED HAND GANG riding about on them.

I thought most people who rode them were (bruised) black and blue

Or are you referring to road rash ;-)

Must admit I was never lucky enough to own a Chopper and had to make do with something similar that was cheaper (can't remember what it was) but that design has to be one of the most enviable things I wanted as a nipper, by the time I could afford one they'd been somewhat forgotten by the in crowd in favour of skateboards.

I'd still probably ride one if I could.
