      OK here is a clue - it likes to get in a spin!

        If you set light to it and "SPIN" it, does it look anything like this ?



        If so it's Wire Wool

          Hi Graham, that link didn't work for me.I could not honestly agree that it's wire wool, sorry.

            Sorry, forgot that you have to set FB pics to "Public".

            Is this one of those rotary wire brushes?

            EG.

                Fred, I have an almost entirely visual memory, but I have very real problems with names

                A nice easy one, so accuracy in the identification will be taken into consideration in the event of a tie break

                  I have the same problem - names can elude me even if they are those of life long friends and yet I can recognise faces extremely well.

                  Anyway (what'syername) - that looks like a tea bag to me

                    This is not just any old Tea Bag and you wouldn't get an Ooo! out of it either.

                    Never having looked closely at the structure and construction of the bag, I was facinated (for the time it took to brew) at how these things are put togeather. Being a Pyramid bag (dam! I've given it away) I got to thinking of the machinery and production processes that must go into these things.

                    I'm always very interested in the "How-it's-Made" and "Mega Factories".

                    SO: Back to Ian for correctly id'ing the Tea Bag...

                    (Some say, that he gets his Tea delivered daily from Harrods)

                      Ah - another Quest channel fan?

                      Haha - PG Tips from memory (pyramid baggies)...

                      Actually, I'm a coffee person if truth be known... (currently abhoring the massively inflated cost of coffee!).

                          It took ages to get a subject I was content with but I think this one will do:

                            Not this time

                            It looks like an amorphous silicon blob, that has oozed out of a sealant nozzle, or something worse...

                              Is it a fried egg?
