Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
Curses! You clever bugger! Thameside did a campaign on recycling based on the old rag and bone m,en and the only image they could find was mine. They asked me how much I wanted for use of the pic but I told them nothing, just give OneGuy a plug. They put on the mugs as well. Now I'll have to stretch my brain again!
By the way, was anyone else getting anywhere near?

Something in the gutter, but what... ?
I know I'm in my own little world, but it's OK... they know me here.

Moss and lichen growing on a wall, typically under the eaves?

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
Not there but close enough. It's a fungus that grows at the bottom of some walls on Wellhouse Street. I first drew attention to it a few years ago and it's remarkably persistent. Despite being cleared away a couple of times it has survived.
Now I'll have to think again......

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
Fungus? Oh well, it qualifies as a mystery object as it had us baffled)
Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
My neighbours would be harvesting it, and either eating it or using it in Chinese Traditional medicine, send it here.Stanley wrote:Not there but close enough.

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
Love the shiny shoes, Stanley.
Our heads have been together looking at this. Febby thinks the object is an oil/ grease pressure pump device.
I am still deciding. As it is on your carpet am I to assume the objects around it are connected to the device?
I note the spanners that have their own place in the box, and a bit that looks like a winder, that fits in that bit over there I think and you must lever it or rotate it...but why? Then there is the pipe that looks like it belongs on a Bunsen burner.
Thinking...thinking...

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
Bodge has got it. It's a pump for hydraulically testing large boilers made by the Vulcan Insurance Company. I don't think it has ever been used. Try this one....
