    bottoms and bottoms from their tops" ie. shirts go on the wahing line
    from the shirt-tail and trews hang from the waistband BUT...

    Far, Far away. Far enough away that you are not subject to collateral
    damage from incoming paving slabs.

    Failing that, hang them up by their straps..

    bfn,

    the reason for the old mother's tale was aesthetics: washing lines are
    dirty, shirts get dirty & creased where they are pegged therefore peg a bit
    that doesn't show. Trousers, on the other foot, also crease where they are
    pegged so peg the waist band so that does not show.

    Bib long look [censored] whatever you do to them, hang them however you like!

    Waist over the line, tops and bottoms hanging down either side.

    Obvious, innit? ;-)

    Washing lines shouldn't be dirty, give it a wipe with a damp cloth now
    and then. If it's a rotary, take it in when you aren't using it.

    As for the bib longs, throw them over the line with top and tail both
    hanging down. Fat blokes' combinations are heavy when wet, and Lycra
    isn't designed to support it.
