Hi there
I got a Christmas present through the post. But, blow me down, I can't figure out what it is? It's about the length of my fore-arm and can be squeezed from the sides.
It's probably something that every kitchen-proud person will instantly recognize. "It's a fizzle gripper," he/she is probably shouting out at me with scornful derision.
But, and here's the kicker, when I rang up the overseas sender of the present, she couldn't remember what she'd sent me!
I refused to send her a photo. Let her stew in her own juices - oh, wait, maybe The Thing is a lemon squeezer?

7 December (NZ time): I've discovered what The Thing is. It's a jar opener! I was glancing through a Farmers' catalogue and found a similar object. But the funny thing Is that I don't need the present at all because I have a foolproof way of opening a jar.
I just give the rim of the lid a very brisk bang or two on the floor. You'll hear a sort of click and then the lid will unscrew easily.
