Is it magnetic? For catching paper clips? The mind is a weird and mysterious place |

Nice thought, but not magnetic. However you are getting warmer, hold onto that sort of idea. Happy Crunching, Graham |

Not a filter, going cold now. Happy Crunching, Graham |

Carlos, a good description of one part of it, but I still need the function of the item. Warmer again. Happy Crunching, Graham |

I believe that you've established that:- part of it's surface is normally tacky (non-slip), it fits into something else as part of it's function. The cup gave an approximate size. In operation, it does not live in my office, where I photographed it. It's operational location, I think, would be too much of a clue. Happy Crunching, Graham |

Is it a "As seen on TV" item? [edit] Is it used in your car? |
Graham Middleton Send message Joined: 1 Sep 00 Posts: 1520 Credit: 86,815,638 RAC: 0 |
Nothing to do with catching flies. I saw it in a specialist type of shop, and bought it. I don't think it's been advertised on TV. At least not in the UK. {edit] that is correct, Admiral. Happy Crunching, Graham |

Does it slide over the steering column? |

Sat nav holder? Thought about that too. But did not post it. Does it fit in the drink holder? |
Graham Middleton Send message Joined: 1 Sep 00 Posts: 1520 Credit: 86,815,638 RAC: 0 |
It doesn't fit over the steering column, too small. OK Admiral & Chris have identified two things that can go on it. Now, where does it go in the car? That is an important part of it's function and name. Happy Crunching, Graham |
