MYSTERY OBJECTS

[Tripps]

I think I have a vague memory of this.

Sounds an interesting cove. There's a copy on Abebooks for £15.

It seems he also wrote - "Economic and fact and fallacies", and "The curse of socialism".

[plaques]

This one is specifically for Marilyn. Gloria already knows what it is. The rest of you can play after a suitable interval.

[Stanley]

It's not a carriage stop.....

[Stanley]

Oh dear Maz, has he got you stumped?

[plaques]

Sorry Marlyn, Times up. Open season for everyone then .....next please.

[Stanley]

Sine bar.....

[Stanley]

Am I the only one looking at this thread?

[plaques]

I thought it would be flooded by people who said 'I have one of these in my tool box'. In my early apprentice days I was asked to make a dozen of these to hand round the factory. Somehow, don't ask me how, I finished up with 13 off. Hence the mystery object. NEXT PLEASE.

[Gloria]

As you know I know and am keeping stum.

[Cathy]

Maybe the above image should be in Lights in the Sky topic... they are closing in

[Gloria]

Obviously the hidden entrance to the treacle mines.

[Tizer]

A coded message from Little Georgie burnt into the Barlick tarmac saying "Stamp Duty reduced from midnight".

1) Dig 2" down on this patch 'E' (Excavate for Treacle mine excrement). Danger wear wellies at all times.
2) 1" of Gravel should be safe for normal Bitumen cover.

[David Whipp]

Top marks for inventiveness everyone; keep 'em coming!

[Big Kev]

Identifying a gas pipe in the road prior to someone digging it up.

[Stanley]

Graffiti connected with the Tories having a Japanese visitor?

[David Whipp]

Stanley gets the bouquet for the most entertaining answer and Kev for being correct!

The picture signals the final chapter in Lockfield Drive's fracking saga; the gangs drilling for gas (or treacle as it may be...) are now digging the whole road up and installing a new pipe to suck all the gas away (under cover of pretending to install a new gas main).

Ah, we'll soon miss the smell of fresh gas wafting around as we walk by...

[Stanley]

Here's an easy one for you. What is unusual about this old American Cushman chuck?

[PanBiker]

It only has two jaws.

[Stanley]

Dead right Ian, a very rare beast.....
Next for shaving?

[Stanley]

Oh dear! Are you all running out of ideas? Try this one....

[Gloria]

Belt buckles?

[LizG]

Harness buckles?

[Marilyn]

For horse brass?
