I would never have found it otherwise I think. It's a treshing board isn't it? To separate the cereal from the straws? But you first put me on the wrong track by saying it was 2 metres 'high' instead of 'long' so I thought it was something standing up when in use. It was in fact lying face down on the grain and pulled over it to separate the cereals from it, while someone was sitting on the board or weight was put on it. Not easy though this quiz;-)<br />Marian flowersandhomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02262453899981838266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-24202346688438378862013-04-18T14:28:43.252+01:002013-04-18T14:28:43.252+01:00No idea!
