Thanks Matt,
Management has declared it a no-no. She says it is the wrong shape. Talk,about OCD.
I only sleep in the bedroom, nothing else is allowed, rules have been made, I do not care if it is odd colours, does not match. As long as my clothes hang OK, who cares about anything else . . . . Oh heck, Gwen does, what a bugger.

Thanks Del.
We have seen al that is on offer.
Trouble is the distance to travel. And these poles would not fit into the car. OK for a mile or three but a three or four hour drive.

Paul, Thanks for the offer.
It is all time now, I have started to make my own adjustable pole.
All the other bits I need have been made or are nearly completed.
I'll keep my eyes open and if something local appears then I could always scrap my home made.

Worked all day Saturday on the thing then at 19:15 urgent call out for a 21:00 Manchester to Stansted Airports. $ x cabin crew ladies and one co-pilot. Lovely bunch. Good journey apart from an accident northbound just past Keele services. Home for 04:30. Had a cuppa and hit the bed in the half finished bedroom.
Up at 09:00and finally finished for 23:00. Knackered.
Looking at it now I can only say, "Yep it looks good".
SWMBO is smiling.
