- 'cos wood rots too easily and the weight of damp washing waving about in the wind causes too much stress on any weakened post.Why the sad face?
Fur enuff, but properly tanalised makes a big difference to the longevity of it, especially if it isn't left out all the time, AND you can cut a V in the top to make it like the sort of clothes prop my grannies both had!
And actually I remember having them in the days before we started having the modern sort that rotate.
If you look at some of the prices on here, you'll see why they can be quite sought after.Thanks for your ideas but I think it is just easier to wait for the next gypo to come along looking for 'any old iron' and let him struggle loading it onto his truck.

There's one identical to mine in that lot and he /she is asking for £250 ono. for it! The gypos would be only be interested in the scrap value though.If you look at some of the prices on here, you'll see why they can be quite sought after.

I just can't be bothered.
You can see why I asked you what you wanted for it.
If it were me, I'd flog it via Gumtree. They have always been good for me, and no one would expect you to send it off.
£250 might be useful towards your noo campervan!!!
And think of the space it'd free up!
Coupla pics like you've just done and 5 mins writing an ad? costs nowt!!!

Oh!I thought he was looking for a Post not a Prop though.
I must have misread it then.
So, for a post, yup scaffie pole, no question!
Living away from habitation like I do means Gumtree is ineffective. And it is far too much effort - besides, I do not want callers around for security reasons.You can see why I asked you what you wanted for it.

Looking back at his question, I think his meaning is open to interpretation.

Gypos round ere would stick it on eBay, as The East Howe/West Howe lot would, take it off Freecycle and stick it on eBay.
We do get rid of stuff via Freecycle always hoping it will go to some person in dire need. But no, it always seems to go the those with the Canford Heath facelift, and a kind of determined acquisitive attitude. I expect if I went to a few car boots I'd see them there!

Fed me bobbin this mornin. Went to the normal spot and crouched down. Somefink landed in me arf conifer tree low down. Eye reached oot and put me wurns on the soil. Me bobbin landed on the soil at the back then hopped forwards a bit. Eye stayed still. He hopped forwards, closer to me. Looked at me ferra few seconds then went to me wurms. Eye was well appy. Thats the closet e's been. Eye watched for 10 seconds then thought he may be fearful of me being so close so stood up to movec away. He shot under the bush away from me. Eye moved away and he went back. Eye no's sudden movements are not good. But din't want to be there too long at arms lenf away from him eating. Prap's eye would have been best to stay still crouched down. Hopefully it will happen again. Eye can hear him churpin int garden at the moment.But we wanted a Bobbin update at the very least, or a report on Edgar's health and welfare.

That's exactly what I use. Bit of tanalised 2x1 with a v cut in the top.Fur enuff, but properly tanalised makes a big difference to the longevity of it, especially if it isn't left out all the time, AND you can cut a V in the top to make it like the sort of clothes prop my grannies both had!
