Some of the nice ones illustrating that article might get nicked.
Mine are grey, and tired, and threadbare(much like myself). I wouldn't inflict the sight of them on anybody.
but do you hang yours out for the world to see? Yep.
Are boxers more acceptable than Y-fronts? Don't care, if it gets washed, it goes onl the line.
Are sparkly thongs (hello minty) less offensive than grey apple-catchers? Again don't care, though I have more of the latter than the former :-(
What about brassieres (hello sqad) - is Agent Provocateur acceptable when Doreen is not? Yep, those go out too, though again, they generic bras, not fancy ones.
I used to, in the days when my 'smalls' really were small!One day I forgot to bring my washing in, and the next morning, all my underwear had disappeared.I found out later it was actually a man that was taking ladies lingerie off the washing lines.Yuk.
I have one of those plastic circular things with lots of little pegs attached. I put all my underwear on that, and hang it on the line. Then, when they are dry, it's so much easier to take off the line and place in the airing cupboard.
In the summer yes I do hang out my lingerie but sadly the world cannot see it.
At the moment I have not assembled my hurly thing for laundry so only the members of the house see it on radiators/airers and the tumbler see's the rest.
