New category: Sharing
  • I've created a new category for borrowing and lending stuff. Have reclassified a few recent posts into it.


    Interested as to whether people think this should be visible to all, or only to registered members.
  • I'd vote for members only.

  • Only to members

  • Might that discourage potential members who are interested in swapping from registering, if all the swap-posts are hidden?

  • I think members only too.  I don't think it would discourage new members, quite the opposite - if there were posts only visible to members it would stop so many people lurking and not joining in and encourage them to register and then join in some of the conversations.


  • I've got a load of old tights if anyone wants them. No use to me as they've got holes in them but seems a shame to chuck 'em out.

  • Old tights make good stuffing for cushions and soft toys......

  • You can have them if you want. You might want to wash them first.

  • Unfortunately my sewing skills are non-existent, but I bet Miss Annie or someone else talented in that department could make some good use of them.

  • Not very inspiring so far . Chang.

  • Thanks for that Chang. Always adding value, as ever. 


    Many of us dream of reaching the lofty heights of your many inspiring contributions.
  • I was joking, but apparently people on ebay pay good money for such things so I might try my luck there.

  • In Japan there are vending machines that dispense ladies lingerie that is not quite new so I expect there's a market for used tights.

  • Said lingerie is generally provided by pubescent schoolgirls (and I do love your description, @missannie!). An enduring regret is that in many trips to Japan, I never saw such a vending machine!

  • good heavens - it was an innocent suggestion about sharing and somehow it has become another lingerie-themed thread ...


    Sharybo - disapproving reference to lurking has finally got me to register after several months looking on! 
  • Oh, you'll get used to it. Threads have a tendency to go off piste.

  • @conformable_kate - I didn't mean to sound disapproving, but it's lovely to have you here to chat and join in :)

  • no no, you didn't really, just a bit of surplus guilt finding a home! thank you for welcome...

Howdy, Stranger!
