1) Is it often mislaid? On balance, no. (Quite difficult to answer.)
2) Would it be useful on a desert island? No - except under very unusual circumstances
3) Can it be bought in any kind of shop? Not quite sure what you mean. Yes it can be bought in a shop, but only a particular kind of shop.
4) Is it bigger than, say, a breadbox? No.
5) Has it got a switch? No.

Old Boiler, dear, it's your turn. Come on, get out of your drawer, and pick something we have a reasonable chance of guessing. But don't tell us until we guess! I'm really sorry to wake you from your nap, but I'm bored silly today at work and no one else can run this game.

Come on... wakey wakey... I've got pickles! I might even share them!
