Telephone Treasure Trail 2001

First Question: METAL DRAWERS. ‘Tin knickers’, we said;
‘Chastity belts’, ‘Magnets?’, ‘Pencils of lead?’;
Second Question: WHY IS YOUNG HENRY SO BRIGHT?

Prince Harry?’ ‘Harry Potter?’ – we don’t get them right.
We’re certainly not doing well as a team –
Two questions gone and we’ve not found the theme.
The next four are correct and our spirits are high.,
At least we’ve discovered the theme is ‘The Sky’.
Space Travel, Science Fiction, Astronomy, The Stars,
‘Is it Telstar or Voyager?’, ‘Pluto or Mars?’.
All brows are furrowed, all brains are numb;
Try as we may inspiration won’t come.
Chewing our pencils, the minutes are flying.
Joanne’s ringing numbers but no-one’s repying.’
Some clues are so cryptic we’re clutching at straws …..
But please, what’s the answer to ‘Metal Drawers’?
