Today, it’s just a “What am I” photo. Let’s see who recognises this immediately. As usual, no prizes from the skinflint. (*)
(*) Skinflint: a niggardly person; miser
Origin of skinflint: from thieves’ slang: literally , one who would skin (that is, chip or abrade) a worn flint rather than pay for a new one
Hello World 
Was this something on your dashboard inside your vehicle on a frosty day?

What do you mean, I had half the answer?! I had ALL the answer! It was obviously something covered in hoar frost. The point of the quiz was to say what the something was. I demand a recount! 🙂

“Whingeing Poms” is a standard expression in Australia, Jane. How do you know when a planeload of Poms has arrived at Sydney Airport? Answer: Because the whining doesn’t stop when the engines are cut.

Sue and Bert each had half of the answer. It was mighty frosty yesterday morning, and this was the setting for a fully retracted car aerial, covered in hoar-frost.
Thanks for playing along. I don’t like puzzles, but it was fun to do this with you folks. 🙂
