    Morticia,  there are ‘girls’ as well as boys who contribute to Flat Chat.

    Contributors to this thread have given a range of opinions and while washing on all sorts of makeshift or removable lines or airers may not ‘look’ good, I think that we can get used to anything.

    Sydney has had a very cold winter and a hot summer is predicted with possible power worker strikes.  Our latest electricity bill is the highest it has ever been because we needed heaters on for a longer period.  Many people can not afford the latest in heating or cooling and so use more power hungry methods, and try to save electricity by not using dryers for their clothes.

    Maybe Owners Corporations need to look at ways to help people dry clothes in the sun so that is not so ‘in your face’.  Older blocks had clothes drying areas but allocation of lines at convenient times, and sometimes theft was a problem.  Most modern blocks do not have a yard although maybe the roof area could be modified?

    Instead of seeing red tiles when flying into Sydney, travellers would be welcomed by flapping washing!  Cool
