Now I know what to buy you for a Christmas present!

har. this thread is so random. who knew washing could be so divisive?

I've noticed the same no-line thing in a lot of new developments here. In our old, but new, 'eco' community, no one dried their clothes outside except us...they all used their dryers.

Now we live in an old neighbourhood with slobby clothes-line drying neighbours. I've found my people.

guess I'm not posh. or canadian. cos we don't even own a dryer....

I love the smell of sundried clothes. And I'm cheap.

but rules like this is one reason why i would never buy in a new development again.

Its a bloody joke isnt it! i have three kids and the cost of keep running the drying is so much. Its free to dry clothes outside and in the summer clothes only take an hour to dry and thats it.!

Hang 'em outside. See if anyone complains. Has your landlord confirmed if you can/cannot use a line yet.

Lots of the older house's in Winnipeg have clothes lines, big old elaborate devices with pullies and wheels and steps to stand on, many are over 50 years old and still functioning.

hmm - here in Burnaby Bc I just peg it out - no one has said nowt - yet!

MB-Realtor

Its a tad chilly here for that for 5/6 months of the year, OK for the rest though.

You can peg out the washing until it gets to zero ish. Especially if it's sunny. You have to be careful if the washing does freeze though as you can snap the frozen clothes in half when you are taking them back in again.

Souvenir

We have a rotary thingy that we use when possible. It's great for sheets etc. It's less good for jeans. My 501s can be propped up in a corner when they've been line-dried.

Somehow I never saw you in 501s

Souvenir

Pretty much all I wear, apart from the rare occasions these days when I have to wear a suit, or mid-summer, when I wear shorts.

The 501s go with the Docs and No. 4 hair.

I now think of them as the jeans worn by city slickers.

Souvenir

Hick.

My preference for them lies mainly with the fact that I don't need to try them on before buying. They come in a 31/32, which fits me exactly.

I've always imagined him a silk smoking jacket, with a pipe and a glass or merlot.

dbd33

You know that's not far off. All of that and the 501s.
