Springs sprung?

I'm sure there must be some type of "Spring Viagra" out there somewhere that can "put lead in their pencils".

still remember (1961ish?) seeing a scrub board & hand ringer in my Grandmother kitchen sink, while we were still in The Bronx. I have no memory if she/we didn't have a machine & maybe these were just for certain items? undoubtedly, would have been hand-downs from her mother? they are nowhere to be seen in my Mother's house. tho she still does still have our old milk box that used to sit on our front porch, for deliveries

I vaguely remember a top-loading washing machine with a mangle - hand wringer - attached. Something resembling this.
Back in the late fifties.

Have you given pegging rubbers a thought?

Have you given pegging rubbers a thought?

Before I search for them on the internet, are they by any chance the type of items usually found in "specialist catalogues"??

Have you given pegging rubbers a thought?

Is that even legal?

Usually found on tent flysheets, various sizes available.

Perfectly!

Good morning from a dull, overcast and damp underfoot Suffolk. First coffee of the day done and now staring at a pile of work and an overloaded inbox wondering where to start. There's also a 4.1kg tin of pizza sauce on my desk that needs dealing with.

Can't give full details yet, but it turns out the tin didn't contain what was on the label! Thankfully the container was still on the port so we've got the rest of the load - 🚬🚬🚬

If he puts pegging in the search engine some of the results could be interesting.

Seven pages in before a certain company name appeared, and even they make them.

A day that started out sunny but ended on a wet and soggy note.

Slept well, but had some very strange dreams. Had a very gentle bimble around the village playing fields with a friend and her two dogs. The doggos hadn't seen me for a month, and were SO pleased to see me. Mind, Auntie Reynard did take them each a large bonio. Also divested myself of 3kg of tomatoes - friend was very happy with them.

Had a kitchen afternoon and made a big batch of spicy carrot, sweet potato and red lentil soup.

Have had a nice quiet evening watching the rugby and conducting a massacre on a packet of chocolate chip cookies.

Whoops...

Was going to say, upon seeing your original post, that if you can't use it, I'll take the can off your hands.

Evidently not, now.

What *was* in there instead?

I'm having a wee dram of my Jura.

Purely medicinal of course.

No confirmed quantities yet as the team taking over have the task of opening 2500+ catering sized cans , but before packaging and advertising regulations changed, the main brand was responsible for this classic livery

Aaaaah, as my mother would say, stinkstoks.

So some poor sod is now sat there with a can opener...
