MYSTERY OBJECTS

[Big Kev]

Steam chest lid?

[Stanley]

That Big Kev has done it again. It's a steam chest lid for one of these donkey engines that Henry Brown used to make. Its a good quality casting and the other side is flat so Newton used to use it as a surface plate.
Next one?

[Stanley]

What is it?

[Gloria]

Is it to be used in conjunction with a surface plate?

[Big Kev]

Looks like granite. A very heavy set square?

[Stanley]

You're both right..... It was a bit too easy for you lot! Anyone care to come up with a fresh one?

[Big Kev]

Here you go

It looks like a leaf to me as well Cathy..... On a succulent plant.....

[Big Kev]

It is a leaf, no one has the plant yet though.

Rubber plant

[Gloria]

Well done Wendy

It was getting a bit big so it's been split down into 3 smaller plants now, all are doing well.

Would you like one as a prize?

[Wendyf]

Are they easy to look after? I'm useless with houseplants

[Big Kev]

If they survive here they'll survive anywhere

This one has your name on it if you'd like it.

[Wendyf]

That would be lovely, thank you! Perhaps you could come up for a cuppa one day?

[Big Kev]

That would be lovely, thank you! Perhaps you could come up for a cuppa one day?

That sounds like a plan

[Cathy]

Well done Wendy , and I think you are the 1st one of us to get a ‘physical’ prize.

[Stanley]

So it was a leaf on a succulent plant?

[Stanley]

What is it?

[Gloria]

Well, it’s a parcel? Looks to be wrapped in cling film.
