I don't post much.
It's because I'm over-awed by the sheer intellectual capacity of most posters here and I fear being torn to pieces by the lot of you.
However, I thought I might turn the magnificent intelligence shown here - in your more lucid moments - and ask if you might translate this for me.
Years ago my father, while digging our garden at home came across a small metal container. You'd have thought it was a bowl for cake-mix or for washing-up. You can imagine it, yes? It was obviously very old. I have it now and I've just come across it in the cupboard under the stairs.
I can't tell you much about it - but there is an inscription:
"iti sapis spo tanda ti no ne"
Can anyone help to identify this artefact?

I just googled it and it said no documents contained that info! :shock:
Crikey, that's never happened to me before..... it must be a BI piece (Before Internet), get it on Antiques Roadshow :grin:

The inscription that you have"iti sapis spo tanda ti no ne" and I'm a bit rusty on this,
translate to
'microwave and dishwasher safe'
couldn't tell you the age though.

Oh Steve,
You should have done that by PM.
That was a joke from nearly fifty years ago. My primary school teacher used to set little problems like this - nowadays he'd probably get prosecuted. So I was set that little problem about the age of eight.
Another one he set - at the same age - was:
A burglar broke into a house. He found a photograph which he picked up and pondered for a while and then he said:
"Brothers and sisters have I none, but this man's father is my father's son."
What was the relationship between burglar and the person in the photograph?

He broke into his former daughter in law`s house, to reclaim his son`s belongings. It was a particularly messy divorce you see. She is still emotionally attached to his son, which is why she won`t let him have his belongings, and why there are still pictures of him out on display. A sad state of affairs....... *shakes head*
