Guess The Item 🤔

[Jessica 🤗]

An extractor fan?

 

[Richie]

How about a perfumed smell dispenser with a button and a battery?

Spot on in every detail Terry. But I think Thomas beat you by an hour with his air purifier answer. I could call it a draw to avoid any acrimony.

 

[Grier]

Ah, no worries Craig,

Thomas got it first and we were both homing in the same way. It's an enjoyable game and it's Thomas' turn to think of an item.

Over to you Thomas please.

There's an art to deciding the item, and more ... work for instance..... it's a learning process for us all in many aspects, the narrowing down of possibilities, collaboratively, also from a different perspective, .... .
I admit to occassionally making a totally daft guess. "Is it red with yellow dots?" ... that's just me drawing a blank.

Vince, join in if you can. And Jessica too please.

OK, then. Here we go.
When I went to the city centre the other day I became aware of a relic of bygone times still to be found on our streets. What is it?

Pole for a gas lantern?

Sorry, no.

Well by definition it has to be "mineral". Are you in the "old" West or old East?

Yes, it's mineral. I'm in the old east but there's no difference here. You find it everywhere.

This is going to be a good one. I've not been to DE and Oz history is fairly short and trivial so may not help. 1am here and must sleep, but final stab:
Town Hall clock?

 

[Jessica 🤗]

Is it an old fashioned lamp post?

 

[Grier]

How about Cobble stones Thomas?

Hi Terry, nice to be online at the same time

 

[Richie]

An extractor fan?

Sorry I missed this. A good guess Jessica.

Intriguing Thomas. The Union of Germanic States into a confederation was formed in 1815, making Germany itself 207 years old. But those Germanic states date back to Roman times dont they. Germania it was named back then. So is it a Roman item per chance.

 

[looker-on]

Sorry, all wrong so far.

 

[Richie]

modern Germany is 207 years old.

Germany is less than 100 yrs older than Australia. Fascinating.

 

[Richie]

Cobble stones

That was going to be my first guess as they date back to Roman times.

 

[Richie]

old design drinking water fountains?

Depends on what you understand by Germany. German history is much longer.

 

[looker-on]

A bygone era, what era mate.

18th and 19th century.
