Oh yes, I caught all of that. I too detected a whiff of not wanting to be affronted by the garments of the little people.
I actually thought the OP was being rather a snob

Re: pegging out washing
Spot on! And now I have a greater appreciation for living in Ontario. We hang our washing out on the line as indeed do the people next door as do the people next door to them. I know that the people opposite don't because I see even at the height of summer plumes of vapour pouring from their dryer vent and it saddens me that they don't know about the benefits of a washing line.
Well really! You can't defend golf on environmental grounds, a golf course is worse for the environment than a gravel pit. Collectively, the world's golf courses are as bad as the world's Hummers.
The idea that people dressed for golf are more aesthetically pleasing than a line of knickers depends on them being threadbare dollar store undies. Even then they`re not likely to be clashing plaid knickers.

Back to washing. I have tumble dryer in this house, my first ever
. We use it in bad weather but will probably do that less now that we have the new furnace in, and the house can be heated efficiently. BTW where does all the fluff go if you don't use the tumble drier? Is it a good or a bad thing to pull all that out of the fabric?? I think with bedclothes and towels it's dead skin.....One of my small pleasures in life is taking the fluff out if the dryer

Ontario Government advice. Is that Roman enough for you?

Re: pegging out washing
If you do dry your clothes indoors, remember to ventilate to extract the moisture from the air.
I was in a basement only last week where the home owners dried all of their laundry strung across the room. They had been doing this for some years. The basement was also heated, but not well ventilated. The result was bad Mould, the basement will require gutting and treating, cost about $15,000.
It would have been much cheaper for them to have used a tumble dryer.

Re: pegging out washing
But it is just one of those Canadian things that Canadians do not hang their clothes up in the summer. You can fight it and make a big fuss or just accept it. There is a third option to all those who really object about all the energy being used and that is to just stay in the UK
No one's fighting anything. It's just plainly ridiculous that if someone chooses to hang out their washing on a nice, bright sunny day that there are parts of Canada that won't allow it Probably because they want people to appreciate all of the beautifully cultivated gardens as they make their way to the local golf course.

The Mrs asked me to clean out the lint trap in the drier the other day. 'The drier has a lint trap?' I asked. 'Who knew?!' She wasn't impressed.

Re: pegging out washing
It can't do the clothes any good can it? to have their inards ripped out everytime they are dried??
BTW. Uncleaned lint traps are a major cause of house fires,
MB Realtor. In our previous house I used to hang the washing up in the basement - with a window slightly open. The furnace was in the same room and the evaporation acted as a humidfier for the rest of the house which was a big help was it was so dry. I noticed on washdays that the portable humidifiers weren't working so hard.
