Well, it looks like it's moulded that way, and not just been cut on the face
edge, despite the fibres clinging on.

Beyond that...

It's the day-old crust of a Furdwangler's butty.
Not to be confused with a Knurler's lunch.

Just a couple of wild guesses as they are not things I use for DIY

a)Mushroom for scribing? I don't think people darn socks anymore.
b)The other fibrous item , could it be the business end of a wallpaper
stripper, looks like a yellow hose might be connected.

Both of them have long discussion threads already, though where I dont
know. The wire in the macro pic is 1mm diameter, so the brown fibrous
thing is around 3mm thick. Looks and sounds like hardboard, but I know
for sure there was no hardboard there when I took that pic. I've never
managed to remember what the d--- thing was though!

Sorry, cant agree. That contains many of the ingredients of a Knurlers
lunch, not 100% agreed, but enough to make it similar.

You appear to have completely forgotton Nark Fettering on Ice.

Oh oh. Let's not start! It could be a slippery slope!

No, the slip would be hard by the time the knocker got involved.

Hypothyroidism is a seriously debilitating condition with an insidious

Although common it frequently goes undiagnosed.

Made the bottom of the saggar (something to protect things in a kiln
from being fire damaged)...unless you mean TMH, then it's decking.

The quality of this video reminds me of just what our TV looked like at the
time. I used to live in a windy part of N Wales where the reception was
dodgy. It used to be my duty to go outside on a cold and windy night to
gently tap the TV ariel into the best signal position using a washing line
clothes prop whilst my father observed the fruits of my efforts. Those were
the days!

No - it's a poor quality telecording (16mm film, taken from what is
essentially a TV set). The live pictures as viewed at home should have
been very much better.

Ah - that explains it. When TV first arrived in Aberdeen - my home town -
the transmitter at Redmoss was only a mile or so away across the valley.

My mother had late onset alzheimer's (it's in my spell check) which became
apparent at almost 90. Lived another 6 years. It's horrible for others to
see - but one doctor said extreme sufferers might be perfectly happy in
their own little world.

Thanks for the spelling Dave.

One major problem with this computer is that I did a full re install
about a month ago and due to visitors, I have not yet got my spell
checker up and running with thunderbird.

One problem with alzhimeimers is that they tend to set off for a walk
and foget where they are going and where they have come from :-(
