So there I was, walking through the park when I noticed a couple of these things in the children's play area. I have no idea what they are. Essentially, they're a funnel on a stick a metre and a bit high (four foot in old money). Inside the funnel is five holes; I can't work out why or where they go. There are two of these; one at each end of the park but don't face each other: they're oriented 30° to each other.
Wotizzit?
I've no idea what it is buti love a mystery object. I do hope someone knows what it is.

ReplyDeleteYou speak in one end, and you can hear on the other side.
At least, that's what the kids on my sons playground do! lol
Oh! I thought it was a novel sprinkler - when water is turned on, it looks like a big daisy.
ReplyDeleteProbably my over-active imagination!
How about a pair of spotlights for all the little drama queens in the playground?
ReplyDeleteI like blazngScarlet's explanation
ReplyDeleteSomething that dispenses paternal wisdom as the children run around. Subliminal indoctrination.
ReplyDeleteit's a pre-twitter communication device
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely going to give this a go. Will enlist the aid of a small lovely creature.

I've come back here at least six times to look at that photo and I still can't imagine what those things are.
ReplyDeleteI think I'm slowly (or fastly) going mad.
Apparently BlazngScarlet is dead right: it is a taling tube.
ReplyDeleteI asked a couple of five-ear-olds and they explained it to me.
It's a secret funnel of parallel dimensionism
ReplyDeleteIt's a piece of spam, painted green.
