no, it was an unusaul bag, not your average black bin bag, but a lovely tapestry bag, a bit like mary poppins bag, iyswim. so i though cor what a fantastic bag, then, ooh its full of rope. i must come across as a nutter really. the mary poppins bag is in good use though, it holds my my loo rolls in my wardrobe.

Afternoon everyone (no tea in hand just in case I spray, legs crossed incase I well you know, and no digestives incase someone linches me for them. No names here but you know who you are. And a big *hello to MrsMop*, always good to see new folks in here.

Right now back to the post and the rope, this reminds me of when I was younger (not that long ago before anyone makes a comment and its the mental age which counts not the physical, and that makes me not even school age yet!).

Back to the point, the rope.... when I used to go berry picking when I was younger you used to have bits of rope round your waist to hold the punetts / baskets / luggies (wee buckets for those of you who have never been) and if you were really brave, the black buckets on as it was easier to pick your berries and chuck them into something at waist height rather than bend down. Did nothing for your back and I'm sure health and safety would have something to say now, but it was great fun. We amounted vast quantities of this rope over the berry picking season, you know "kept it just in case we needed it as it was strong stuff and FREE!".

So your rope, 160 might well have been the childrens lenght's of rope left over from berry picking.
