I say this in a home furnishing store the other day and wondered what the hell it actually is:

Ideas on a postcard please :)

If you want the serious answer, it is an access point to their waste pipe through which they can push their screw rods when they need to clear a "blockage".

OK. The way is now clear for all those witty replies that I'm sure are backing up!:D

You beat me to it! I have a picture almost identical to that, but sat in my phone awaiting upload. I would wager that it's the same sign (behind the remote control sofa?)

Ok, now we know what a rodding eye point is, what the hell is a remote control sofa? I think we should be told spiffeymonkey! Spill the beans!

It's exactly as it sounds; a sofa with a remote. It's a big leather two seater and each side has an independant remote to adjust recline and height. Very posh, and available from the point just in front of the rodding point sign :)

Yep, it can hold up to 100 full size portraits, including the gilt frames ;)
