Which end ........... opening feed bags .....

[ QUOTE ]
Blimey JM07- I never thought I would see such a nasty post come from a user I thought was a good person. Guess it shows how fake people are on the internet. If you don't like it, don't reply.

To the OP, just chop the top off with scissors and you're sorted.

Ha ha ha ha thanks for that but that does not help me sort out that [****] string

Actually I think if I just gave said bag of feed to my horse he'd find a way in!

That is such a good idea ... so now 20 years of wondering has been cracked in one night

Unfold the glued end!

Mmmmm but I wanted to know that answer from the other end

..... as I wanted the re-use the bag for using under my hay ... so a very innocent question .....

There is no answer to the other end you either can or can't do it with the bloody string!

I must admit to being confused as to why you think you cannot use the bag as you wish, if you unfold the glued end (in other words following the instructions for opening that are on most feed bags these days
tongue.gif
). The only time you should need a knife or scissors if if opening a sack of chaff/alafalfa etc... not the paper bags.

TBF I can understand JM's POV, but think it was expressed in a highly unnecessarily antagonistic way.

Actually, I'd give JM a break tonight. Maybe she's had a bad day...

I yank the string and rip the top off

[/ QUOTE ]

I will try 'yanking' in future then, but being such a little girl I may find that a bit difficult .... but I will ask my Mother .... however unfortunatley she sadly passed away 26 years ago

As a weak 'old woman' I struggle to open the glued end as well ...... you would have to see it to believe it .... I also struggle with turning taps on and off ..... but obviously JM07 does not have these issues yet

the string does my head in, i open the glued end or attack with a knife while swearing and kicking said bag, at the moment it results in OH coming and taking said bag off me and pulling the pissing string to open it

colleague showed my a technique the other day.

Much easier than fiddling with the stupid crap string. Either that or use your teeth if there is no knife available.



... and you

Hang on a minute... I just provided you with some genuine, what I thought was helpful advice. I think you may have misinterpreted my post. My comment regarding the tread being 'silly and pointless' was meant to be sarcastic i.e. there is nothing silly and pointless about asking for advice, I struggle with the bags as well and when my colleague showed me an easier way, I was pleased.

I will be honest, I havent read the rest of this thread so don't know what the resolution to JM07's comment was but I did, personally, think it was extrememly unnecessary and unkind and quoting it, and then replying to your question was SUPPOSED to indicate that.

I appologise if my intentions did not come across on my post. I don't think what you asked was unreasoable at all. I DO think the nasty replies were.

Sorry, but I can understand how a 12 year old girl would ask for help with the string thing, didn't we all get shown at some stage? Now there is a knack, but I find it easiest to snip the 'tail' of plaited string off close to the bag, then you should be able to unpick the single thread from the first loop and gently pull and it 'should' come away.

LOL .... that is what I always try and do and then you find you have the wrong end, so you go back to the other end and find that is the wrong end, so you start again and again .... and eventually, once the horses are thin and miserable you get it

1. Cut the cord at both ends of the bag.

2. On each of the two sides of each of both ends pick the
cord out

3. Pull the freed length of cord on both sides of one end and
if that dioes not work do it on the other end and it will
work.

4. In other words it will not pull and open from each end
just one of the ends.

5. Hope this helps you.
 
I think everyone shouldnt worry too much about JM07, she probably went out with Mrs Norris and came back with a bad hang over, (and i think they have both forgotten to take their HRT). Trust me JM is a truly delightful person.
