Mystery Object (locked version of Original)

I wonder that you don't know the term "fender" Sis, as it is the only term that I know of for this item. I thought that is what we always called it as kids. Yes, to the wing on a car, and also it is a puffer thing to stop boats bumping into others when docked.

 

I thought the only other 'Fender' was the American word for a car bumper.

 

... and also a brand of guitar and amplifier.

But I lived in the States a total of 20 years, you only 7 or 8, so fender to me is a part of a car as cars were a big part of my life there.

As you are older, I probably didn't know a fender as part of a fire ... family discussion on forum over.

Anyway, I've come up with something ...



What is it?

 

Pal, we crossed wires ... a bumper is a bumper is America, a fender is a wing. A British, oft repeated misconception ... t'other half should know, as you know!

So, what's the Mystery Object then ... and I'll give you a clue ... it's not a bumper or fender! :D :D

 

Could be ventilation holes in the back of a TV or radio.

Cheers MIKE

 

Good guess, Dorsetmike, but not right!

 

oh sorry (puff, pant) I'm here now. Good another one to drive me potty :D

eerrmm an iron?

 

That's a good guess too, D1zi, but no, my little whiz kid. Keep your thinking cap on! :wink:

 

is it a holey wellington boot?!! :D :D

 

I'm going to ignore you AndyK! :rolleyes:
Although it could be strange tread on the soles ...but no!

 

hehe ok i'll stop with the wellingtons! is it the holes on the front of an amplifier? (possibly a link to the fender thing?!)

 

ooh ooh is it a computer speaker? The front of my laptop looks like that, just where the speakers are

 

No, AndyK, no actual musical connection (although music could come into it) and no it's not a computer speaker, D1zi ... I don't have a laptop! You're on the right track though.

 

Mobile phone?

 

:eek: Aargh Aargh Paladin beat me

yes mobile phone, I just came on to type it in and Paladin beat me
