"Madam President...they've dropped a Clanger."
We need to talk about the Clangers. The Clangers (copyright Coolabi Productions Ltd, Smallfilms Ltd and Peter Firmin, images used under review/satire...) live on "a small Moon"...and are tall enough that the Moon's curvature is comparable to their scale. This is the best pic I could find to illustrate this, the further Clanger seems to be pretty much ON the horizon from the camera's point of view.
So we can draw a circle to match that curvature...

I'm fairly confident it's the Harwell Dekatron Computer (the WITCH) at the National Museum of Computing. I recommend a visit.
Ahhh, Mastodon.
As a result of recent chats on here I've been down an extensive rabbit hole about Yorkshire dialects (I am not from Yorkshire), then had to work out if I could still remember how to floss (dance, not dental care).
Excellent.
