Classic....get real. Really!!!! Can you, or anyone, imagine being able to roll a pair of Welshies bloomers up and fitting them in a suitcase???
@PaulSB s knickers maybe but there is a limit

Have you tried before dismissing it?

Would that be like trying to fold a piece of paper 8 times?

If they had a whole suitcase just for my bloomers then perhaps....

Quick Test
Go ahead and cross your arms right now. Done? Alright. Now, try to cross them the other way. If you’re currently crossed with right forearm on top, try to switch position so that your left forearm is on top.

Now join your hands, interlocking/interweaving your fingers.
Which side is on top?

It's dark outside 🔦

Roll the contents of the cases, don't fold flat. They'll take up less room, be less likely to crease, and should be easier locate. Shoes/footwear should be used to hold anything that may be damaged by compression, but should be bagged before placing in them.

Standard packing in our house. We're really good at packing. Best yet is a week away in a bag 40 x20 x25cm - one babe each. I love beating Ryanair at their own game.

You're right though rolling is the way to go. I do this with a lot of stuff at home; underwear, vests, T-shirts, cycle kit etc.

This is why I don't get Mrs P buying packing boxes.

OK. I've tried to do this.......it's 4.30 I need entertaining!!

If I've got this correct my right arm is on top by virtue of my right thumb being on top of the left when my fingers are interlocked.

I gave up.............was scared I wouldn't manage to drink the rest of my coffee if I was tied in a knot!

After 24 hours of almost constant rain it is almost off and to be dry and breezy today. I suspect my walking trails will all be extremely muddy.

Morning all, dark and damp outside. The lurgy is in full swing now , a wheezing chest and a hacking cough. I now have some idea about how @Drago and his underpants feel. My Duvet cover is wringing wet, I seem to of perspired buckets overnight. I feel the washing machine might be called into action later.

Alexa? Call Cyclechat.

Mornin' all.
Could someone please call me an ambulance ... or the fire brigade? I appear to trapped in a fiendish Gordian knot of @classic33 's making.

 

[welsh dragon]

Good morning. I have no intention of trying to tie myself up in knots for anyone.

I know, but I would like to be able to move afterwards.
