While we thinking of water features and how to make some sense of what we have now...

I'll raise the subject of a less numerous subject and hopefully less confusing subject for contemplation; cloths lines.


Some Russian mappers have crested and mapped amenity=clothes_dryer https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dclothes_dryer

Some 350 uses exist. A fair proportion have no further details, rack and T post look to be the more popular details.


Within New South Wales, Australia I have been using man_made=clothes_line, 48 of them. All of these have been clothes_line=rotary with appropriate access tag - most private some customers.


However there looks to be another value that has some use in Britain - 'washing line'.


I'll ask on the UK group list for their preference, but any thoughts here on either the key or value?


Keys;

amenity

or

man_made


I prefer man_made .. I view washing as a chore not as enjoyment.. :)


Values;

clothes dryer

clothes line

washing line


I don't like dryer - to me that is an electrical machine that drys clothes...

-----------------------


I note Paul Allen has been a good participant in the last conversation on this .. thanks Paul.

Raising this again due to the new value of 'washing line' .. which I have not come access before.

That and I'd like to have a good tag that passes the test of time unlike the water mess, apologies to those that started it ... 20/20 hindsight is the advantage of looking back.
