How do I copyright an IDEA?

Speak to a solicitor. I think what you have to do is prove that you thought of the idea before someone else did. I assume you're worried that if you go and tell him, he'll do it without paying you any commission? You can register a letter with a solicitor for safekeeping, and if it transpires that someone stole your idea, you have it officially documented with a legal professional.

It may be a good idea to go anyway, just for advice.

Maybe I should have said Lawyer instead of Solicitor as well.... I can see him asking some lady of ill repute on the street corner....

For both US and UK intellectual property its important to be able to show when you first had the idea. Before you send it to anyone else (cjohns included - no offence) send yourself and your lawyer one in a sealed envelope.
