"Can You Guess What It Is Yet"
I'm trying for the cheapest and simplest MYOG ever here . I've tested it and, in all modesty, it's blimmin' brilliant despite what the experts said (*) before I tried it! The joy experienced when successfully installed and operated is out of all proportion to the cost/effort. Took 10 seconds to make so I'm all ready with the production line to untold riches . Sorry to drone on but I'm really tickled with it!

PS. Oh, clue: from what I can gather it would be utterly useless for a good percentage of the congregation here, who may consider themselves enlightened.

How many guesses of getting it wrong before you tell us. Looks like a very simple contraption indeed...

Is it a 50p piece?
Is the fold important? Is it for protecting your fingers when grasping a hot handle on your mug when taking it off the stove?

Last one. It's a piece of foam the size of your thumb to make pressing your stakes into the ground less painful. I know it isn't, but we need closure mate
I'm just going outside ...

Re: "Can You Guess What It Is Yet"
All good stuff - you chaps should be patenting those ideas as well! Closure. I need to milk the suspense. But go on then, I just hope I can stand the underwhelmed response . My clue was a bit more complex than I thought, 'enlightened'..... make something... that I don't have..... but... have you ever had that incredibly painful and hard to rectify 'something stuck in your zip' moment? (yes - aaaaarrrgggHHH!!). Well that little piece of cut-out milk container and a blob of superglue might be the answer....... <stands back with arms folded gazing fondly at new creation>..
