Never seen anything like it Cathy! Could it be for tenderising steaks?

No idea, sorry.

I agree with Stanley that it's a meat tenderiser.

We wait for Cathy's verdict....

I found images of some other meat tenderizers, of the same design. Some metal and some wood, some had a mixture of both.
This particular one was described as an Antique/ Primitive Meat Tenderizer.
So Yes it is a Meat Tenderizer. (Doesn’t bear thinking about the bacteria on that wood, back in those days.)

There you are Wendy, we were right!
Now someone will have to think of another object!

What is it?

No takers? I thought this would be snapped up!

Stick one on a vertical surface and hang your kitchen towel on it by pushing the corner of the towel into the hole. We've been using them for several decades!

Dead right Peter. I thought it was too easy but it must have puzzled someone!

Here's a mystery object. What are they and what is their significance (ignore the kitchen tray!).

Are they from an advent calendar?

Well that lasted no more than 30 minutes! An advent calendar, as the man says. My sister-in-law sent it to me. Her partner is ex-RAF. They (the planes) were rather squashed into the calendar spaces and today I spent some time dipping them into very hot water, bending them into correct shape and then dipping them in cold water. I'm thinking of flying them to Mar-a-Lago, snatching Trump and dropping him into the Caribbean Sea.

I had a Laithwaites Wine advent calendar, a third bottle of wine for 23 days plus a full bottle of Prosecco on the 24th!

It was very enjoyable! I have generous friends with an excess of air miles!

So now we need another object..... I shall go and have a furtle.



Where is this? You have seen it before. Another of the strange places I took my camera...

Down a mine?

Close but no cigar. Not underground Gloria. You've seen it before....

The flues, during inspection of the Simon Schwab stack at Middleton?

Yes Kev. Exactly. I got myself into some funny places!
I shall have another furtle.

What are we looking at here?

No takers? You've seen it before. Clue, connected to pottery manufacture.....
