I have been looking at the stitching . It doesn't compute . I understand fishing knots and am a past master at untangling birds nests but I can't get my brain around this machine-tied girlie stuff   .
But I think you are probably correct . You ( normally ) pull from the left , assuming that the front of the bag is facing you .
It was the Goldcrop brand , in woven bags , that I referred to earlier . I can now confirm that the NCF paper sacks pull the same way but the big difference is that with G/crop the single thread is at the bag of the bag whereas on NCF it is at the front . And with the paper sacks it is easier to just get hold of the string and rip the top straight off the bag anyway . That is what blokes do !
But I have recently discovered the ultimate method -- take a very sharp knife and run it along the central seam at the bottom of the sack. You then just lift the fabric and all the grain is left in a neat conical pile on the floor . This makes it very easy to get at and the mice won't chew holes thru the bag either .
What with all this messing about I sometimes forget what day it is .
