    Damn I should have thought of that and climbed over a few garden fences before I spent all that money! And now I'm going to have to see if there's such a thing as a lockable peg basket.

For utilitarian items like this I'm a strong believer in "buy cheap buy twice". My wife thinks I'm crazy spending this much on clothes pegs, but as I get older, for stupid stuff like this I want to buy something that will last me the rest of my life. Maybe they'll become a family heirloom!
    We've still got the wooden clothes pegs we bought from Woolworths twenty or so years ago for a fiver. To be fair we rarely hang clothes outside to dry.

    Our pegs are mainly used to seal up opened packets of cereals these days.

    Moi aussi, though hanging out washing to dry costs much less than using a dryer - it's free.

    Must admit there's nothing worse than towels dried on the line - even in the summer they need a spin in the tumble. Apparently the Pincinox pegs are perfect for cereal packet duties too, but then they would say that as they want me to keep splurging money on them!

    Do they sell them separately? I might get one to hang up outside the toilet.

    Lockable peg basket - good idea, though you'll need a good quality ground anchor to prevent the basket getting nicked. Getting to be less and less of a bargain

    No, but maybe there's a business opportunity here for me, I could bulk buy sell them singly along with little bunches of lucky heather. That might work outside the toilet, too?

    You could be onto something there Alex. Also sitting down and listing all the possible applications should widen their appeal. I'm not saying you should use the words 'nipple clamps', or even comment on their electrical conductivity, but some other uses we have already touched on.
