That's it.
The rings were like the ones you used for sealing pickled onion jars.
In fact I think that's what we probably used when we lost the original ones.

THanks - now I have a name for it! You've lost me a bit with the pickled onions though - are they like the kilner jar clip ring things?

Can't see any loo roll holder. Can see the gramophone, though ... I suppose the needle arm on that looks a little like a loo roll holder?

Hey, they've got one of those things at my Curves gym
If you can throw a 26 you get your name in a draw for that week's prize
(Got 26 on my first try but not since, so no prize for me
