Hi there, my Husband who is a chartered surveyor went off to work today with bailer twine as shoelaces, Fortunatley not the bright orange stuff but a slighly sandy colour twine. He now says its marvelous stuff and will never buy another pair of shoelaces again. This is all very well but when you answer the door to somebody wearing a fairly smart suit and you happen to look down and spot shoes tied with bailer twine it kind of has a wurzel gummidge feel to it. Does anyone else have any odd uses for things?

My Ex Father in law wa a famer and so practical no fuss type of man. I went into his bathroom years ago and he had tied a scrubbing brush to an old plank with bailing twine and used it fo a back scub!!!

There is a knitting pattern somewhere on the ether for a hay net made of bailer twine. Saw it in a Horsey mag but I am sure twill be on tinternet.Other than that a million and one uses from tying sheep hurdles to posts or emergency dog leads. Never without bailer twine in my pocket. Hermit

I grew up in a farming community, went out with and married a farmners son and worked for a while in Melton Mowbray and most of the farmers had bailing tine holding thier suit jackets together!

From what wizard says about  his hospital they are keeping him together with bailing twine. Hermit

Its handy for cars too  One of our old cars passed about 3 mot's with its bumper tied on with binder twine. You can also plait 3 strands together to make rough collars or halters for goats or sheep. For a gentler but still tough coller, use tomato twine and wool- makes great collars for goats kids.

Separate the strands of twine and use it for dental floss.
