1. A fixing of unitary construction for securing an article to a surface, comprising;
a coupling arrangement, for coupling the article to the fixing; and
an elongate member extending from the coupling arrangement;
the elongate member comprising a bend which is located substantially midway along the length of the elongate member, the bend defining a first portion and second portion of the elongate member;
wherein the first and second portions are resiliently biased away from each other, and the first portion extends between the coupling arrangement and the bend, and the second portion extends towards the coupling arrangement from the bend, forming a gap suitable for the article, between the second portion and the coupling arrangement;
wherein the gap size is adjusted by varying the distance between the first and second portions of the elongate member; and
wherein the fixing comprises barbs which increase the friction between the fixing and a hole.
