Sorry, no.

[PanBiker]

Former for holding wound Christmas lights

[Stanley]

That sounds reasonable Ian!

[David Whipp]

Former for holding wound Christmas lights

On my darling, that's far too practical!

[Stanley]

Those tabs in the apertures look as though they have to engage in lugs on whatever goes with it. Some sort of storage?

[David Whipp]

Some sort of storage?

Getting warmer.

[Stanley]

Lid off a paper shredder?

[David Whipp]

Lid off a paper shredder?

Colder.

Final clue; think Aldi.

[Gloria]

No idea really. Lid off a storage box????? For carrying bottles of wine for christmas?????

[David Whipp]

Both Stanley and Gloria are right about it being a storage box lid; one of my clues should help you win gold in finding out what was in it.

[Pluggy]

I've been perusing Aldi storage on google images, I can't see anything that looks like the posted item.

[David Whipp]

A seasonal offering, but not quite one of their '49er' offerings.

[Gloria]

Lid off box of panetone???? or sprouts thinking of christmas.

[David Whipp]

You're on the right lines Gloria; now go for Gold!

[plaques]

Knowing your penchant for filling your pantry with bargains it could be a bumper pack of Gold Blend Coffee. But I still have a sneaking feeling it held a Superman outfit used for flying over Barlick in search of potholes. Bet you daren't wear it at the next Council meeting.

[Gloria]

Box of gold christmas crackers?????

[Wendyf]

Clementines!!

[Gloria]

ooooo good one Wendy.

[David Whipp]

Clementines!!

Gold Medal, Wendy.

The mystery object is the lid from a box of clementines.

The box is made out of MDF and is slotted together without any glue. It's very sturdy; very well designed.

It's still in use for storing our citrus fruit.

[Wendyf]

I wondered why you had answered "Oh my darling" to Ian a few posts back, but it was the 49er what did it.

Here's one...

[Marilyn]

Is it for manipulating your electric fence safely?

[Wendyf]

Never thought about using it for that job...

[David Whipp]

It's not to do with young male sheep is it?
