Cracking Idea, Gromit

The Patent Office has got Wallace and Gromoit on board to encourage young inventors.

Nick Park, of course the man behind the two chesse loving characters, say when he was eight years old he’d already decided on his career.

“I really wanted to be an inventor,” he says. Inspired by film versions of stories by HG Wells and Jules Verne, he says he planned “to build a time machine and visit the dinosaurs”.

Wallace and Gromit, described by the Patent Office as “Britain’s foremost inventors”, are spearheading the Cracking Ideas initiative, which will invite youngsters to come up with their own inventions.

Wallace, the creator of automated trousers and elaborate knitting machines, follows in the long tradition of “eccentric inventors”, says Mr Park.

Of course we have our very own “eccentric inventor” right here on readersheds.co.uk, Lyndon Yorke.
