Old-fashioned pulley clotheslines

I love mine. I rarely dry outside nowadays even when the weather is good. With stuff on my pulley, I can decide when to take it down.

Exactly! I do still put things out if fine weather is guaranteed but using the pulley means I’m under no pressure to get it down!

Dry outside mostly, but I have a line in the garage, for days like this.
Scottish Power does half price electricity on Sat and Sun between 12noon - 4pm. My washing machine and dishwasher are on those times, although dishwasher is on only once on Sunday.

Yes I have a Maiden in the outhouse, wouldn't be without one, had one in my last house too.

I’ve got one in the utility room. When I’m drying inside I’ve got a heated airer, but all the trousers go on the Sheila maid, because it’s got wide slats and they can hang down.

I have one in my utility room . It’s brilliant for drying as it has wide slats and especially good for drying jumpers as you can spread them to shape them .

I love to line dry whenever possible.My neighbours look at me as though I've gone mad when I hang out on crisp winter days.I like it too when my washing freezes on the line. It dries much quicker after that !!!

Always outside if I can, heated airier in the utility room if it’s damp outside and a tumble dryer for an emergency.

We had pulleys in most of our army quarters, always in the kitchen, one we had in Yorkshire was above the kitchen table, sometimes you did get washing draping on your head.
I try to wash bedding and towels when we’re not expecting rain, there’s nothing like washing dried in the fresh air.
We get plenty of rain in South Wales.

Thank you silverlining48 for telling me where I might get clothes poles I'm grateful.
I know it probably sounds silly to people but I loved my clothes pole.
Anyway I appreciate it. Thank you

Oh my pleasure squaumaw.

I liked hanging my washing outside ti dry but it did get me called a murderer once by my kids lol. to explain a bit better we had what we used to call 'the long stretch so that if you were unfortunate enough to be last and all the neighbours had beaten you so the drying area was full there was this hook on a wall at the far side so someone could attach their rope and stretch it along to the drying area. It was a good distance and you really needed your clothes pole if you had that Only thing was it went right under a tree. Now that wasn't normally a problem but this particular day part of my washing was a pair of those white cotton summer trousers. Unknown to me a caterpillar had fallen from the tree into a pocket of these trousers. Course I don't know a thing and later that night I proceed to iron - out of nowhere there's a squelch and a the freshly laundered summer trousers aren't white anymore! The kids burst out laughing and were telling their pals I was a killer lol. I on the other hand was mortified and for days neighbours were asking me if I'd washed anything with pockets while trying to stop themselves laughing.
Oops

I Line dry all the time Weather permitting, I have a tumble dryer, but tend not to use it too much because I also have an airing cupboard
When I had the combination boiler put in 20 years ago and the old water tank taken out of the airing cupboard I asked them to put a little radiator in and also there is a little tube heater that goes in there as well
I put two lines of washing line in it and a lot of stuff I’ll put on hangers and just hang in the airing cupboard. It’s warm all the time because of the Little tube heater but in the winter it’s extra warm because I’ve got the Little radiator as well, I should imagine it saves me a quite a bit not having to use the tumble dryer unless absolutely necessary..
I hasten to add. I live on my own in the three bedroom house and do not have the central heating on very much at all probably when it’s very cold about an hour in the morning and an hour in the evening, it comes on automatically.
I have a Gas fire in my lounge, which keeps me nice and warm and that is 20 years old Have it serviced regularly.. In fact I had it serviced last week and that was £72 but money well spent..

I always line-dry if possible. I don't have a tumble dryer, so if it is too wet or damp outside, things have to be dried on stands inside.

No pulley clothesline though, but the mention of them always reminds me of when we were keeping an eye on some friends' house while they were away.
Their pulley line was very squeaky when being used and we kept hearing it and rushing out to see who on earth would be out there, but never saw anyone. We eventually twigged that a local blackbird had learned to mimic the sound 😂
(A bird on the allotment I used to have learned to mimic my mobile phone too , and it only seemed to do it when I had left my phone by the shed but I was at the opposite end of my plot. I lost track of the number of times I raced back to the shed to answer it, just to find that there was no 'missed call'!)
