Should a picnic blanket be placed plastic up, or fleece up?

[YouWereRight]

Dp and I disagree. Which is right?

Fwiw, I'm fleece up.

I kind of get his logic but if that was the case they'd just make them plastic on both sides.

What did he think the fleece was for?

Fleece up.

@JuiceBoxMonster clearly.to warm the ground lol

I think he said something silly and now can’t admit it. That or he’s a properly foolish fool.

He reckons the fleece is on the underside to soften the ground, because sitting on the soft bit would be too easy

I knew that was going to be the reasoning for plastic up.

This isn't one of these situations where there's two ways, like cream teas and debating if jam or cream should go on first. There is only one way, and it's FLEECE UP.

Who’d want to sit on sweaty plastic

Fleece up! The plastic is the waterproof layer that goes next to the ground, not next to the picnic imagines OP reclining on blanket with open wicker hamper next to her

Fleece.

Fleece obviously, are you sure your OH isn't trying to wind you up?

@IdaDown, you might be onto something there. Nudist picnickers might go plastic up.

Fleece up, of course.

You need a brug. Either side up!

And is the fleece a pretty pattern for the worms to enjoy?

Your dh is bonkers

If he wants a wipe-clean surface, he wants a plastic groundsheet not a picnic blanket.

Is he Australian OP?

What does he plan to do that requires him to sit on plastic? Is he a messy eater and plastic is easy for hosing down?

Beefarseer

Fleece up of course.

Also if the dc spilled their drink plastic side up, they'd be sitting in a puddle. This kind of happens anyway the fleece isn't v absorbent, if you wipe it quickly you can save it.

(by the way, cream then jam, hth)

You’re right

Growing up we had a green groundsheet for picnics. It would get hot and sticky.

Fleece up all the time.

I lived in the west-country for a while. Feelings run deep on this one.

I have a lot of Devonian blood in me..... But even if I didn't it makes sense because the cream is acting like a butter replacement and you wouldn't put that on top of your jam would you.....
