Isabelle Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 I have a friend who emigrated to Cyprus. Last time he was over here he was on the hunt for some wooden clothes pegs. Apparently you can only get plastics ones in Cyprus, and they fade and turn brittle in the bright sunshine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
top4718 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Sorry you've lost me, is there a joke of some kind in there that's gone over my head? People who ask questions like this are usually trying to pretend to be supremely intelligent, I remember a thread on the (alleged) merits of Katy Perry and posters were asking the fake question who she was, laughable.

Alcoblog Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 I have a friend who emigrated to Cyprus. Last time he was over here he was on the hunt for some wooden clothes pegs. Apparently you can only get plastics ones in Cyprus, and they fade and turn brittle in the bright sunshine. Same over in Blighty! I bought plastic clothes pegs which embrittled after only what seemed minutes (could've been a month or so in reality) in nothing more than hazy sunshine (as well as fading, which, in the grand scheme of things, is of little consequence). Springs and faded plastic shrapnel all over the weeds, which of course, slugs can unfortunately choke on. A cunning way to get around this I find, is to coat the pegs liberally with sticky, black molybdenum disulfide grease which, to my way of thinking, acts as a sort of sun block. ---------- Post added 28-06-2017 at 13:02 ---------- People who ask questions like this are usually trying to pretend to be supremely intelligent, I remember a thread on the (alleged) merits of Katy Perry and posters were asking the fake question who she was, laughable. 'Supremely intelligent' people realise from the opening post that this is just a trivial question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carosio Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 A similar question is- why do Americans, as seen in sit-coms and films, clutch plain brown paper (shopping) bags to their chests instead of using practical ones with handles? Is the carrier-bag handle patented? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lex Luthor Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 (edited) Traditional German houses often have a boiler room in the cellar where clothes are washed and hung to dry, but pegs 'Klammer" are still used.

silentP Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 A similar question is- why do Americans, as seen in sit-coms and films, clutch plain brown paper (shopping) bags to their chests instead of using practical ones with handles? Is the carrier-bag handle patented? It's because they overfill them and the handles give out as they're lifted from checkout. The real question should be why do they generally only have one bag? Their fridges put the Tardis to shame, surely it makes sense to buy in bulk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
