BA socks
Wife and I were wondering what to do with the 30 or so pairs of BA socks that we have floating around the house.
In case you are in a similar predicament, it turns out they are awesome for cleaning glass!

Also consider giving to a Crisis at Christmas centre, along with your surplus washbags.

I use them to put glass bottles in when packing them in a suitcase.

Sounds like a poltergeist. Maybe an exorcist?

Use them to cover your feet before wearing "trainers" and they reduce chafeing.

Spray with glue and dip in glitter. They make great knob covers at Christmas.

My car gets washed and waxed during its annual service. Am I missing something?

If you have the a car boot sale, or alternatively on e-bay, then sell them there and donate the proceeds to your charity of choice?

This forum got me to think that "socks" is a misspelling (wrong vowel)...
