Thin rope- whats it called ? ripcord
Dear all!
I'm looking for some thin cord or rope to tie my half-hood to the rear of the car (rather like the Softbitsforsevens one)....
but I can't find the right stuff. My local haberdashery place has black cord but its just twisted not braided....
I thought it was called ripcord but trying to search for that doesn't seem to get me anywhere....
Any ideas??
Cheers

Army surplus type places call it 'Para-cord' IIRC.
Boaty type places also sell it.

If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

Is it string?
That's what we call it.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
