And finally on our little graphic clothesline is a pair of jeans.

Six to ten.

Six to ten.

So a week.

I'd normally get a week out of a pair of jeans.

Now, some people say you should get a lot more.

That jeans aren't meant to be washed and that they improve with age if you don't wash them.

Six to ten for a pair of jeans.

And then if you are hanging them out, here's another question that which magazine haven't answered.

How do you hang a pair of jeans?

on a washing line to get the most effective drying.

We've had debates about this over the years as well.

I would say you hang it by the legs.

Now, in this particular graphic, it's hung by the waist.

See, the waist, for me, carries most of the moisture, would it not?

It would not make sense then to have it closest to the ground.

So you put the pegs on the ends of the legs and then all the moisture drains out through the waist.

That's what I would say.

I can't remember what we concluded back in the day.

There were mothers involved and phone calls.
