Tangential, but you have no idea how amusing it is to watch Americans discover the rotary clothes line.
I grew up with one! But I haven’t been able to find one, and when I asked at my hometown hardware store, they said the market has lately been flooded with very inexpensive imported ones that don’t hold up at all, and so no one will buy any. I spent literally years trying to find one before Amazon ran a sale on that one and I snapped it up hoping it was reasonable. Because it wasn’t even that you could shop by price– the shitty ones were all over the place in price, because people wouldn’t buy the very cheap ones because they knew they were shitty… It’s been a mess. I’ve literally spent my whole adult life trying to get a decent rotary clothes line and am delighted to have finally found one. I’m seriously considering buying a second one for my sister because she has this elaborate thing made of lumber that is slowly sinking into the earth and the lines keep snapping.
