Mrs P takes all the keys that we have hanging at the back door and sticks them in a cupboard drawer, fair dos she tells me that and it's a sensible place for them. What she doesn't tell me is that she's put all the keys in the same place except for the actual door keys. As she was out to work early this morning, locking the door after leaving, I was left raking through umpteen drawers and various other places keys may be kept to try and get the kids to school on time. Eventually had to climb out a fucking window. 45 minutes later when she replies to the many missed calls and messages saying we're locked in the house she tells me where they are. In the fucking cutlery drawer!!!! What a spoon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a term used in theatre for adjustable sticks to keep walls vertical in a stage set. It has nothing to do with clothes poles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we definitely called the clothes line variety a Stretcher when we were wee. I'm sure this interjection answers nothing tho, so apologies fir that! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Chief Toffee Teeth Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Pffft. A clothes pole is what you tie the washing line to. These are stretchers, obviously.Aye, if you're from Glasgow or the Central Belt, maybe. "Stenter", I'd have thought, would have picked up some support from the more Scots Language areas of the P&B constituency. (Apologies if a bit tangential to the thread : just that the old "outsider" v "heel" thing got me started. ) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My memory's definitely going, worked in theatre for about 20 years. A clothes pole was definitely a clothes pole though. P.S. There is something called a stretcher used in theatre but for the moment I've totally forgotten what it is.

That's genuinely the kind of thing I'd expect to see Bob Geldof patronising some c**t under in a fucking township somewhere. Get.

Especially old actors, renowned for playing comedy military figures in classic BBC sitcoms. As you were, Sergeant! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
