The results of this method of steaming the chair seat in order to impart those bum shaped contours can be seen on the antiques road show.

Easy, next question :)

 

You been watching too much television. I think they call it in the trade "distressing" furniture.

Could it be calomel fumigation, used in the treatment of Syphilis ?

and the link to the forum...Mr. Henry Lee who devised the treatment :coffee:

 

Dam it! Yes, yes & yes.

 

(It wouldn't have anything to do with the fact you knew I was at the RAMC Museum yesterday?:))

 

The text after the drawing says "the diagram requires no explanation"

i reckon that comes under de lousing:-D

 

Not really, I think if you went to a special clinic & said you had been treating yourself by dusting with DDT powder they would explain that delousing was not going to effect a cure.

 

Insects such as lice cause typhus, trench fever & relapsing fever. Syph is caused a spirochaete.

 

It reminds me at school a kid got given an English dictionary & was inscribed "A present from Auntie Phylis". Some rotter added an 'S' to the front of her name.:)

Clive,

 

I did'nt know you went to the museum, might not have registered to me if I had heard. I just know how your mind works on some of these mystery objects :-D

 

Sorry Richard didn't mean to imply it was anything other than powers of logic & cunning in achieving a triple bullseye answer. Out of 81 objects, I think your score would be way up in the 70s?

:-D:-D:-D:-D logic and cunning, very good. I did try and reckon up how many, but I think with the lost threads, I lost count, but would have though around the 60 mark.

 

So what is the prize for a Triple Bullseye? ...................no, no........not a day out in a Humber Hornet :shake::shake::shake:

 

:tup::

Ah I forgot the great crash, so maybe MO 81 is actually MO 85 or so?

 

Prize? Well you could look come & look at my gold fiche or even sniff my EMERs, there might even be an oily thumb print of yours on some of them!
