Delegate refers to context it was created in. Your delegates are created in `main()` scope/context and thus can only access its stack frame. You can't access caller context from delegates.

Ok, that clarifies that then :(

Is there any alternative to using delegates for this behaviour? i.e. passing a function at object construct time, and let that function have access to the objects members?
