Another word game - twenty questions

After yesterday's Twenty Hints on one of the threads, I was reminded of that old favourite Twenty Questions.
Rules reminders:-
Someone thinks of something/someone and posts a very minimal clue - just the category (person, film title, object or whatever)
Others post questions, to which the answer can only be "Yes" or "No" or guesses of who/what they are thinking of.
Questions are limited to twenty.
If someone guesses correctly within the twenty, they choose the next subject, or nominate someone else to do so.
If not, the answer is given and another subject chosen, either by whoever posted the unguessed one or by someone else who has been nominated.

I'll start it off - A person.

An old English Byre?

Wobblybits Tue 08-Nov-16 21:23:45

I would describe this object as a British Institution.

Wobblybits Tue 08-Nov-16 21:25:08

No not a Byre or any sort of building.

I am going cows but not milk, mostly mineral, too big to carry.

Wobblybits Tue 08-Nov-16 21:35:51

Say what you see

Linsco56 Tue 08-Nov-16 21:37:34

Is it mechanical?

Wobblybits Tue 08-Nov-16 21:38:21

yes

Elegran Tue 08-Nov-16 21:41:59

Mainly mineral -- almost entirely.
Without an animal element it would be pointless
Outdoors
You can't carry it
Nothing to do with milk
Clue - photo of Fiesian black and white cows in a field.
Clue, there are several of these, but each one is unique.
Manmade British institution
Mechanical
Bigger than a battering ram
Clue -say what you see.

Linsco56 Tue 08-Nov-16 21:42:21

Is it a piece of farm machinery?

Elegran Tue 08-Nov-16 21:42:38

Television brodcasting mast.

Elegran Tue 08-Nov-16 21:43:12

But I don't see where the photo fits that.

Wobblybits Tue 08-Nov-16 21:44:26

That's about it but the photo won;t help you yet.

Last bit of help --- how big is it ?

Elegran Tue 08-Nov-16 21:47:57

As big as a shipping container?

Wobblybits Tue 08-Nov-16 21:49:23

Much much bigger, but you are rocking and rolling now.

Elegran Tue 08-Nov-16 21:50:20

Must be a ship of some kind.

Wobblybits Tue 08-Nov-16 21:51:08

Yes
6 to go

now the photo might help
