Can't really believe I am posting about this

Couldn't think of any specific post to reply to, so have used an
entirely different thread.

We have one of those retracting lines so we basically can't leave the
pegs on the line . The pegs are stored in a bag which clips on to the
line retraction mechanism bracket. The line is unrolled every time it
is needed, the other end is attached to a hook on a post (attached to
over the back's fence) it is wiped (surprisingly the line can get quite
grotty even coiled up) . The pegs are taken from the bag, which is hung
from the line, as needed .

Is there a punch line coming, or have I missed something?

There are some issues with these devices though. Most are made of very cheap
plastic and sometimes badly painted metal for the reel in bit and mounting,
but they do not seem to offer them with a metal bar at the other end. So you
have four lines and a plastic bar with hooks to support it. What happens six
months in, the bloody plastic breaks and the lines come off. They are made
from one long line looped back and forth of course. So you then start making
all sorts of bodges to get the function back, as you know the next one you
buy will have the mounting holes in a different place etc.

The also have a nasty habit of the ratchet jammed knob popping out and
letting all the clothes fall down.

PS I've never noticed a washing line thinking, but how can one tell? It
might have come up with the answer to life, the Universe and Everything, and
then the peg broke.

Different type of device. I know the type you mean, hideous bits of
kit, sold for above the bath or somesuch. The type I mean is similar to
http://tinyurl.com/bwwha79 though not the same one , it is of the same
type (I shall try to describe it for you Brian it has a single line and
is meant for outside rather than one line bent into four and meant for
indoor use
