Thermometer question

[Lesley Jay]

You clever devil Nicos!!

[shirlthegirl43]

Well discovered Nicos - got to be honest, I can't even find my GYO at the moment far less work out what sort of thermometer it is!

[madderbat]

Well done Nicos, but why are they so obscure at GYO????!!

[JennieAtkinson]

Well done Nicos - does it explain the temp guage as well?

[Nicos]

Thanks!!!
Temp gauge is perfect!!!
Oh the stuff you get to pick up on here is limitless!!!

You definately get the prize Nicos ! Well done ! But I'm not sure it's what GYO intended to impart to us! Maybe they should explain.

I'm still of the school of thought that says 'Management'/'someone at HQ' has had a bet to see how long it will take Jo Public to decipher the puzzle......!
hence the 'Delibret Mistook' that I made reference to.

Tell me. Who, editorially in the GYO office thought that we'd all immediately identify with an R as opposed to an F?
Horticulturally, you wouldn't, unless you first 'noticed it', then 'questioned it' and then maybe 'Googled it'.
I rest my case.....!

[Lesley Jay]

Wellie do you really want to know? I will ask the Editorial team.

[wellie]

No need LJ, unless you want to yourself....
I just find it a little peculiar that you wouldn't choose to picture the normal thermometre of F & C, when that's what most Jo Publics actually know and recognise. So why go all out to do an R and a C?
I'm sure no-one's really losing sleep over it....?

[Nicos]

I think it was chosen cos it looks old and quaint...? (ie- they hadn't notice it either!!!!?)

[Digger-07]

As the poser of the question I would like to thank everyone, especially Nicos, for taking the time to put me out of my missery. Now I can continue reading GYO looking for something else to puzzle me.

Still now it's getting light after work I will be able to get out more.

Thanks again.

[Nicos]

Am looking forward to your next puzzle!!!!
Oh - and by the way...well spotted!!

[wellie]

I share that Nicos !
