But there are plenty of regional differences here, and I've certainly heard toilet TISSUE used.<BR/><BR/>Shadecloth was new to me - but that might simply be because I'm not much of gardener.<BR/><BR/>But <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hills_Hoist" REL="nofollow">Hill's Hoist</A> seems to be an Australian term/product - thank you for one!<BR/><BR/>Hmm, I think of a "shoe bag" the same way you do - I used shoe bags when I lived in Michigan and needed to carry shoes with me when I was wearing boots. But The Container Store uses <A HREF="http://www.containerstore.com/browse/Product.jhtml?PRODID=59766&CATID=62195" REL="nofollow">overdoor shoe bag</A> for that first item.

My peg bag is a similar design to the one you show from Pouch's Shop on Etsy, but it's made out of shadecloth, so I can leave it hanging on Hills Hoist when it rains. (Any other new words in there?)<BR/><BR/>I would call the first article a 'shoe organiser' ("s" not "z"), and the last one a 'shopping bag', 'plastic bag' or 'grocery bag' holder. A 'shoe bag' would be a draw string bag to cart your shoes to and from, say, the gym, or work, etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
