Hi Lynne size: is it smaller than a matchbox? than a fist? than a head? than a computer monitor? than a car? could it come in a variety of sizes? is it's colour relevant? is it more than one colour? was it making claims it couldn't substantiate? or making outlandish claims? was it making claims about how enjoyable it was? how many hours of fun it would bring? (your puzzle response is the one we always give on reading that a dog chew will last for an hour - it usually lasts six minutes in our 'little one's' jaws..) | ||

I would have thought so or making outlandish claims? to my mind, yes was it making claims about how enjoyable it was? no how many hours of fun it would bring? no (your puzzle response is the one we always give on reading that a dog chew will last for an hour - it usually lasts six minutes in our 'little one's' jaws..) same with our boy | ||

Is there one particular room you would normally place this offending item? Is it solid? Is it a plant? Is it easy to pick up or do you need to brace yourself? | ||

You say the colour is relevant, so is it: red / blue / yellow / black / white / combination / other? Does it contain metal? Not mechanical / not electrical / .. is it flexible? Does it break easily? Is it an "old fashioned item? Is it a modern item? Does it have feet? A flat bottom, so to speak? Do they normally cost more than £50? | ||
