Cosmic Joe Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Raymond Mearns referred to these on Radio Scotland the other day - meaning these wee bobbles that appear on clothing through overwashing I think. I hadn't heard this term before. Did I mishear him or is this a geographical matter? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nkomo-A-Gogo Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 When I was wee my jammies were covered in oose. I remember my elbow touched the gas hob on the cooker and I was engulfed in a carpet of flames for about two seconds. Them balls are flammable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

broon-loon Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 My Mum worked in Jute Mills when I was a young Loon, and from memory 'the dust' that flew around and gathered everywhere was known as 'oooo'. Indeed, very flammable, and only one of the very dangerous hazards in 'The Factory'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Called bobbles in the charity biz. You know a charity shop is struggling/doesn't give a f**k when they're putting out bobbly claes. Straight in the recycling with them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, dust can be a fire hazard (which is why I never open my wallet, arf arf) At chemistry lessons the teacher demonstrated this by putting a candle in a custard powder tin. It was set up so you could blow custard powder in through the side, which the candle ignited and the explosion blew the tin lid 10 feet in the air It impressed us anyway 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
