I hang mine out, but only because my neighbours do too!

My MiL spent a lot of time criticising her neighbours' washing lines and talking about their laundry skills, condition & price of clothing.

So, given that such nosey people exist, if a person doesn't peg out underwear on the line - do the neighbours assume they don't wear any? (as in 'fur coat and no knickers') or do the neighbours just think they're dirty?

If I have bright sparkly new whiter than white nicknacks, I don't mind them being pegged with two pegs in all their full glory. The vibrant pug ones however, go to the inside of the twirly whirly washing line, sometimes two to a peg depending on their pugginess!

My step-mother used to use my dad's tatty old yellow-stained-at-the-crotch Y-fronts as dusters :eek: That was quite traumatic as it was me who did the dusting........

The irony was they were bloody loaded (my dad and SM - not the pants ) and didn't need to skimp on things like dusters!!

Ah, that would explain it. My bust is not really significant.

Mine is, and knickers still wear out faster (though i have ample to put in them too).

The other thing is that i will happily wear a bra a couple of times before washing, but not knickers. I buy them as seaparates and buy two pairs of pants for one bra.

Undies on line with rest!

My neighbours tend to use their kitchen door, rather than the front, so come out and confront my line directly.

Tough - their fault for moving their shed!

No, but I ensure my Y Fronts are paraded in full wind assisted drying though.

Ditto!

I don't hang mine on the line as I have a caterpillar phobia so everything is tumble dried but it wouldn't bother me a jot if the neighbours saw my (not so) smalls.

I am now having fond childhood memories of my nan's huuuuge frilly pants blowing on the washing line.

I do hang mine out on the inside of the rotary, however that's more because it's space saving than me being bothered if some one saw them.

Saying that thought, we were having a BBQ for a bunch of friends, mostly men, and went to the supermarket to stock up. When we got back I went to upstairs to get changed and met a considerate male friend who had brought in all my washing so that it didn't get smoky when they lit the BBQ. This meant he had handled a bunch of my knickers, which I found abit awkward!:o
