Gale clothes pegs

[Kenn]

Any one know if they are available in the county and if so where can I buy them?

[Phill]

Wot they for then LIZZ, are the special ones that keep yer clothes on the line when it's blowin' a hoolie?

:confused

[changilass]

Are you sending your washing to Orkney lol

[Phill]

We tried some super strong ones, can only assume they worked 'cos the line went as well!!

Aw come on folk....I'm just trying to find some pegs. 'em as what lives out to Bettyhill are getting fed up wie me drawers all over the garden!

[Happy Gilmour]

storm pegs are what you are looking for and they can be located in a small supermarket in Lybster. Mr & Mrs Wild sell them, they might post them to you if you contact them.

[shazzap]

Ebay have some, but i don't know if they are the same as the ones you are after.

Said who it may be just the thing we all need to brighten up a cold Monday. :lol:

Liz, as you are good at needlework, may I suggest you embroider a stamp and your postcode on your drawers, you may just get them back in time for a cosy christmas.

I use my tumble dryer from end Sept. till end of March........will not catch me out in cold wet ,windy weather.........

Try Ebay....for pegs.;)

[mumof2]

they sometimes have storm pegs in the 99p shop, not sure if they have em just now though!

[Kathy@watten]

LOl have the same issues here with the wind blowing everything I have washed all over the place, but now have the storm pegs, you can get them in the CLB in Thurso, obviously a need for us country girls doing our mega washes!

[Lavenderblue2]

Even if you get the washing to stay secure on the line and the line doesn't break, the wind will rip the bottoms of towels etc to shreds!!

Except for the odd good day it's the tumble drier for me too.

When it comes to holding up ones drawers on a windy day I would hope that they wouldnt let them down so to speak :p........................

I still reckon my suggetiion is the best ...............no drawers ...no need for pegs for them :Razz

[Kenn]

Managed to purchase a beeg bag of 'em today in Thurso and not badly priced either, £1.40 for 50 in Serendipity so hopefully now both the smalls and the large will stay on the line!

Same here. Thought they were a waste of electric, but OH had one when I moved in and soon found it was easier than picking your washing out of the fields in winter up here. I have not found any pegs yet that will hold it but will look on ebay now to see what their storm pegs are like.

[Hoida]

Try Serendipity in Thurso they did have them

[David Banks]

If strong winds were coming, we'd put the regular pegs on as close as possible to the spring. Sometimes we'd use two or three pegs for big sheets and the like. Don't remember having clothes ending up in Scarfskerry loch.
Special storm pegs, eh? - now that's progress.
