Plastic Dolly Pegs

Never knew they existed, saw some today, will try to post a pic later.

Prefer the wooden ones. You can still get those I think 

We use this type, but we still have quite a few very old wooden ones.

I never put the clothes out so I don't  know what they look like!

Fascinating.  

Wooden pegs all the time for me...lol

There is an art to hanging out washing ...
After considering which type of peg is preferred, wooden or plastic there is the artful technique of how to hang the washing. Are jeans hung from the waistband or the leg bottoms?

Pummy, why you groaning my luv?
This is serious stuff .. the same as chaps who prefer stripy lawns or the more freeflowing art form produced by a hover which is reputed to be less bovver.

andsome those jumbo pegs look like implements of torture   like crocodile clips on battery chargers.

As a highly experienced washing hanger, I notice the creeping in of compulsive disorders! I cannot possibly bring myself to use different coloured pegs for the same item of clothing. It matters not what colour but they must be the same!

MY Obsessive Compulsive Disorder goes even further, Ciderman.

Not only must the pegs be the same colour - they must be matched to the colour of the garment !
Green shirt = green pegs.
White underwear = white pegs.

MASSIVE problem when one encounters a garment for which one has no equivalent peg-colour.
Extreme stress. Valium needed.

Hmm ... it must be awful when you have some spotty undies to hang out.

Only (female) PIGS have 'spotty' undies .......

I heard the other day that they found that gangster "Ginger Marks", been after him for years, guess where they found him?

I'm chief pegger outer and don't worry about the types or colour or pegs used. I'm a rebel, so mix them up and will fight anyone who criticises. :)

I know that woollies need 3 ..or even 4 pegs to hang them up so the don't dry with saggy parts. Jeans and trousers are 2 pegs (on the waistband). Socks (per pair) and underpants are 1 peg. Shirts and other non-stretchy materials can be just 2 pegs. A quadra-zillion pegs are needed for sheets so that they don't take off in the breeze or become detached and dangle on the ground.

Before this subject came up, I never realised there was so much science involved in hanging the washing out.

Heavy !
