The Extra Lovely (un)intelligible Totally Elitist thread

TrulyMadly

Winterdyke
meaning clothes dryer

This word is a peculiar Scot's word common in Ayreshire, but not really anywhere else. It is used to describe the sort of indoor clothes drying contraptions that most grandmothers seem to own. The reasoning behind the formation of this word is simple. A dyke is a low stone wall where you might hang your washing out to dry in the summer months. In inclement weather (which is common in Scotland not only during the winter months) you would hang the clothes indoors, hence 'Winterdyke'.

It turns out that the Winterdyke is an extremely 'green' or environmentally friendly device. It is estimated that 75% of the pollution and energy consumption associated with clothing comes from the laundering of it. If you want to make your weekly laundry a 'greener' process, try using a winterdyke instead of the tumble dryer (but only if you don't mind crispy feeling socks)

I'm getting thanked for my additional posts about random items, so I must be doing something right!:rotfl::rotfl:

Neither of the two Greek Style yogurts that returned N/A were on my list - my advice would be not to stray from my list (but I would say that!)

However, the Greek Style with Black Cherry was not on there - I can't find it in my M's, but neither are several others that I have on there which have previously been confirmed. It's going on my list!! Thanks.

Thanks:), got your list now:). Hadn't done my homework (read back:mad:) before I did my shop !

Evening all just catching up:)

I got the sada inquisition in A (Portr+ck) trying to use a £14.39 apg today. SA said she would have to get it checked with a supervisor as it was over 14. Unfortunately it was a supervisor that had previously refused one without any grounds for doing so (making up the rules again:mad:) Said it would have to be investigated and I'd have to wait 5 or 10 minutes so they could check it on the system.
Most of the stuff was non glitchy to get the APG but there were a few glitchy Doves on it. Came back and said that there had been a fault with the system to give such a high APG and I wasn't entitled to it but they would let it go this once as the system was now fixed but any more would be refused:eek:.


Why didn't you come and say hello tonight in T as I was there again waiting with "the mob":rotfl::rotfl: Got lots more fruit/veg and finest pork medalions(45p) + a nice pork crackling joint(77p) that would have gone well in David.'s freezer if he'd had room:rotfl::rotfl:

Plenty of room in my oven
