Stopping the squirrels

In order to prevent squirrels enjoying time in and/or stealing your underwear from your washing line you should always (ALWAYS) hang knickers and pants by the crotch.
Imagine your underwear is an isosceles triangle: you want the pointy end to be the bit you hang over the line and peg.
Underwear hung with the crotch downwards is just waiting for a squirrel to come along and make themselves at home in. It is barely any effort for them to manipulate the peg arrangement so that they can climb into your pants and have a snooze, saved from falling by the seat of your pants!
This is not madness. It is a simple way to stop squirrels using your pants as a hammock and if they cannot test out your undies for comfort, they cannot be tempted to steal them from the line and move them into their nests (which, by the way, are in your attic).
