Pampas grass- myth?

Is the old adage of swingers having pampas in their front garden true? Is it really a way of telling swingers apart from vanilla people?

Apparently the way to control its growth is to set it on fire.

Maybe not a good plant to stick in ur garden

I have heard that you need to burn them to get rid if them too.

Mind you, burning got rid of the conifers that I had wanted to keep.

I hope the pampras grass is a myth as our neighbours have it,... and they are in their 80's!!

The problem is people will have it who are not swingers. The point of a sign is surely that it will be unique to those who know?

Trouble is it was a sign in the 70's so that would put them in their 50's then so quite possible. ask them lol

Definitely true. If you don't have it, you're not a swinger.

Shit...we have friends over in the far corner of darkest north Wales and the local council plants it on grass verges and roundabouts.

Is a "roundabout" a dif type of swinger?

"Anyone got pink pampas grass? "

Would that be "the rinky dink Pampas,

the one that is permanently pink?"

With apologies to Henri Mancini

Yes we just bought one from a garden centre recently

There's quite a few pampas grasses in our village but suspect they're not all swingers....

We bought our house in 1983 and our neighbours had pampas grass but they had young kids which I know people do and still swing but they were more hippie types and back then I didnt know pampas was linked with swingers, so I have been wondering

I say if you only have them in your back garden is that you used to be swingers, you dug up the plant from the front garden and planted it in the back garden as an act of retirement but to keep the memory's of your swinging past.

Somewhere in North Norfolk

Does this mean people who live in flats without gardens are not allowed to be swingers?

Do we need a separate indicator for swingles, since they aren't "proper" swingers?

I think they had it back and front garden but burnt them out after a few years

I've never heard this before. We have had pampas grass at the front of our house for years but have never had anyone come to the door! Shame.....I shall look after them far more carefully in the future.

Haha I have just always heard that some swingers would identify themselves using pampas grass. Seems a bizarre notion but others seem to have heard of it too! I have also heard that in the days before the internet they'd put a trilby hat on the parcel shelves of their cars to signal 'hello! I'm a swinger!'- the mind boggles!

I think it was a 70's thing.

Also if you had three gnomes on your front lawn it meant you were up for a threesome, four gnomes or more meant an orgy and a brown gnome mental anal.
