Anderzander Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Hmmm . My neighbours dog has got poo all over my boiler suit and my wife won't let me put it in the washer ..... So, where can I get a nice new cotton boiler suit ? All the ones in the local workwear shops seem to be selling shiny polyester type stuff ....

Anderzander Posted November 23, 2013 Author Share Posted November 23, 2013 I like your thinking ! But he's 56 and single and I'm not sure it'd come out much cleaner ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GW8IZR Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Put it on and walk in the kitchen, she will probably change her mind. Or just give it a good pre wash with the garden hose then wash as normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderzander Posted November 23, 2013 Author Share Posted November 23, 2013 Lol - brilliant. The jet wash idea is a good one - but I couldn't wear it. It's proper gag material. It's a sheep dog and it was one of those dragging the bum things .... I'll see what response I get about a pre-wash .... Must admit though, I fancy a new one now though ...

GW8IZR Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Tell neighbour his dog needs its anal glands emptied.. Its not a nice job and these days I let the vet do it, money well spent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderzander Posted November 23, 2013 Author Share Posted November 23, 2013 WOAH !! I just googled that ..... Grim. Very grim. I'm now worried that what has been seen cannot be unseen. Back to the boiler suit please.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muddy Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 I wear a john deere one all day everyday and can't complain, they do set on fire occasionally and the Velcro seems to fall off every time they go for wash but I suspect they are dipped in a vat of battery acid or similar. Will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratty43 Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Work supplies me with cotton ones made by castle; they're cotton and last a good two years of daily wear. I work in a mine so they catch the sides a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbs Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Just out of curiosity, How did you end up with dog pooh on your boiler suit? John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderzander Posted November 24, 2013 Author Share Posted November 24, 2013 My garage opens into a shared yard, I was finishing a job in the dark. Took the boiler suit off and left it on the floor ..... The stuff on the outside was with the dog dragging his bum. But some must have got on my shoe earlier, which came off on the inside when I pulled the suit off over my shoe .. Not pleasant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landroversforever Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 I've got about 3 pairs given to me when I started my apprenticeship. They're Dickies ones, they've taken a lot of abuse (mainly at home rather than work ) and are great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
