It has nothing to do with clothes poles. At the risk of sounding pedantic, we call this 'Bracing' in our Theatre; mibbes Stretcher is used elsewhere tho, i'm not sure. But we definitely called the clothes line variety a Stretcher when we were wee. I'm sure this interjection answers nothing tho, so apologies fir that! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Chief Toffee Teeth Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Pffft. A clothes pole is what you tie the washing line to. These are stretchers, obviously.Aye, if you're from Glasgow or the Central Belt, maybe. "Stenter", I'd have thought, would have picked up some support from the more Scots Language areas of the P&B constituency. (Apologies if a bit tangential to the thread : just that the old "outsider" v "heel" thing got me started. ) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My memory's definitely going, worked in theatre for about 20 years. A clothes pole was definitely a clothes pole though. P.S. There is something called a stretcher used in theatre but for the moment I've totally forgotten what it is.

That's genuinely the kind of thing I'd expect to see Bob Geldof patronising some c**t under in a fucking township somewhere. Get.
