Very boring - pegs - plastc or wooden, and what shape sort???

[FAQinglovely]

I've got my new rotary washing line (well it's next door as I missed them when doing teh school run and I haven't bothered to go and get it yet) and I've just realised that I have no pegs - all the ones I had at my old place (with the old cranky rotary line) were old and horrible and broken and dirty.

So I need to buy pegs - and wondering which is best - and why?

Wooden bog standard cheapos. I bought about 3 packs of fancy-schmancy ones last year when I got a washing line and they were all rubbish. Then got a pack of wooden ones for about 40p from Sainsbo's and they're perfect.

I find wooden pegs leave brown marks on my washing (or maybe thats just the incredibly cheap ones I have?) so always go for plastic

wooden pegs go manky when you leave them out on hte line all night but i avoid the pasticky ones with the fat handles cos they don't grip well enough. standard straight plastic ones work a treat for me.

Soft grip pegs from Lakeland as they don't leave peg marks on your clothes.

I've had some plastic ones from Wilkinsons I think.

Don't get the ones called 'hurricane pegs'. They claim they will hold washing up through the wildest of winds, but they are not too good. I use cheapy plastic ones, but I somehow have one of my mum's posh plastic ones in with my pegs, and it's really nice.
