You know how, on Amazon, customers can send in a question which is then emailed out to other customers who've bought the product? Today, looking at socks airers on Amazon — specifically, this one:
. . . I came across this question and answer (click on it if it's too small for you to read properly):
Yes — I don't live in a tiny house but I have tiny space, because I share a normal sized house with a lot of people! One of our big challenges, in a rainy country, is drying clothes. We rely heavily on the banisters and a bamboo pole laid across the stairwell. I thought one of these sock driers would go just nicely on that bamboo pole. So I looked it up . . . But no good for curing herring, apparently.
People are so funny and interesting and surprising! I could not have that thing though... it would disturb my eyes and spirit for some reason. A resounding "no" when I look at it. :)
I didn't get that one in the end — I read the reviews that spoke of pegs breaking and plastic arms bending under the weight of washing. I did get one, though, but a brushed aluminium circular one with not so many pegs. Works a treat. x
Hahahahaha!! Thank you for brightening up my morning!
ReplyDeleteHa! That's great. Gotta love people with a sense of humor.

ReplyDeletePoor herring. How about antibiotics? Gave me my laugh for the day - thank you!
