Why on earth didn't he show how to Plat onions instead of that bit of
rope.
If you can't be bothered with all that work then just get a stocking;
or one leg from a pair of tights; and fill that with your onions when
they are dry and hang that up, they store wll that way.

His system is very simple, the other isn't. The result is the same.

And looks prettier hanging over the Aga than my old tights. ;-)
Aesthetics, David aesthetics. ;-)) All this takes my memory back to
the French onion man in his black beret, riding along on a wonky old
bike.

With the method shown on GW, anybody taking onions from the bottom of the stack
is in for a surprise similar to removing tins from the bottom of a supermarket
pyramid stack. If you tie the knot like he did, it is a only a matter of time
before the onions are all over the floor.

We used to watch a big van pull up in the local car park and then the
'french onion sellers' get out with their bikes to cycle round the streets.
As usual, 90% of everything is in the marketing.
