MYSTERY OBJECTS

[Tizer]

No, but you're getting warmer, at least as far as the person's identity is confirmed. Still a long way to go but I won't give clues yet. I also want to know what the object is, not just what it represents.

[Cathy]

Is he an old historical King?

[Gloria]

Is it Sir Francis Drake on Plymouth Hoe?

[Cathy]

Ah ha... is he a Christmas decoration - a Tin Soldier or Drummer Boy?
(Obviously not made of tin. )

[Marilyn]

King Arthur?
King Wenceslas?
Old King Cole?

[chinatyke]

King Canute?

[Stanley]

I'm going for Good King Wenceslas and the space on the plinth behind him is for his page. Made of wood and a seasonal decoration.

[Marilyn]

Come on Tizzy (wakey wakey!)
Get that morning cuppa down you and shuffle about in striped flanellette pyjamas...but get on here!

[Stanley]

It's a big responsibility when you have all parts of the world hanging on your next post.....

[Marilyn]

This is not the day for a second cuppa and a long sit on the loo with the newspaper...
( my husband will sit there until he solves the Sudoku)

[Stanley]

He may respond to the pressure Maz. I'm wanting some clue as well!

[Cathy]

Ha ha I was tempted a couple of times to jump on and say something similar.
It won’t be long now before we are all told ‘Your all no-where near it, blah blah blah, but here’s a well needed clue...’ Please

[Gloria]

TIZZZ, (in a loud shouty voice,) where are you??
This has created more interest than the election and Brexit put together.

[Marilyn]

(Gulp!)...well us down under don't really care much about Brexit/Elections...to be honest.(sorry)..but I would hate to think Tizzy is now sat doing the Cryptic Crossword with his butt cheeks still welded to the loo...
It is a matter of global responsibility....we must have an answer...

[Cathy]

Breathe, Breathe. He’s usually on site by 10.00am. Won’t be long now.

[Tripps]

Where's a small earthquake when you need one?

I got the magnifying glass out and decided it was The Invisible Man with Father Christmas. I thought that was so ridiculous I didn't post it.

OK kids, Mrs Tiz has told me to stop reading the latest election news on the BBC site and pay attention to your pleas.
Cathy was the first to suggest `an old historical king' and she was bang on target with that! But he's none of those so far suggested. I'll narrow it down to a British king - but he's not a statue, so what is he?

Here's a clue - he's just had a brief holiday in Greenwich.

[Gloria]

King George I I.

[Gloria]

King William??

[Tizer]

Ooooh, that's just so close, Gloria. Which William? There have been four!

[Gloria]

Annes husband. No I meant her son?

[Tizer]

No, but to avoid a series of posts on Williams I'll tell you that it's William IV. The question now is, what is the object?

[Cathy]

Just an aside, here in Adelaide our main city street is King William Street from King William IV, and his wife was called Adelaide.

[Stanley]

Figurehead of HMS Royal William?
