MYSTERY OBJECTS

[Stanley]

Is it a globe?

[Gloria]

No, nothing to do with maps.

[plaques]

Blood smear from the Turin Shroud?

[Cathy]

I was thinking that it is something to do with The Shroud of Turin.

[Tripps]

I think I can see squares lines showing it may be a tiled floor.

Does that help?

[Wendyf]

Gloria is just back from Lake Garda, could they be mineral deposits at Sirmione?

[Big Kev]

A marble floor that a wet dog has been laying on?

[Tripps]

I thought I saw a 'Turin' outline of a dog, on the tiles, but dismissed it as fanciful.

[Gloria]

A marble floor that a wet dog has been laying on?

Spot on, the dog was Febe the hotel dog, she’d been out in the rain and lain on the marble floor for 5mins. well done.

[Big Kev]

I've impressed myself there

[Stanley]

That must be the weirdest object we have ever had.....
Next one?

[plaques]

An easy one. Have you ever sat next to this lady? Where is it and what is she called.

[Stanley]

No, I have never sat next to her or I would have remembered!

[Big Kev]

Is it Mother Shipton at Knaresborough?

[plaques]

Mother Shipton ...NO.

There's an whole new world just past Brierfield.

[Big Kev]

Ah! Is she accompanied by a calf?

[plaques]

Dead right, Burnley market square. Quite nice sculptures. Her given name is 'The Mill Girl' and Calf.

[Stanley]

I like public bronzes. I first came across them in Montreal.

[Stanley]

What is it?

[PanBiker]

I bet no one gets that without Googling it.

[Stanley]

I didn't know what it was.....

[Gloria]

Is it some sort of kernel?

[Cathy]

Something to do with Bees ?

[Stanley]

You are both going in the right direction as it is a natural object but not bees. Not a kernel either but as I say it is natural. Clue, it's connected to the sea, That's where you would find it.

[Gloria]

A type of sponge.
