A tape comprising: a tape body of an extensible material having a front surface, a rear surface, a first longitudinal side edge and a second longitudinal side edge; the tape body having an adhesive on the rear surface for removable attachment to an object; the front surface of the tape being free from adhesive; the tape body having a longitudinally extending filament attached thereto; characterized in that the filament is attached to the tape body at a position thereon spaced from both side edges (33, 34) of the tape body; wherein the tape body is arranged and the filament is arranged at a distance from both side edges (33, 34) to allow bending of the tape body, while the tape body remains flat, in a first side to side direction by extension of the tape body along the second longitudinal side edge relative to the filament and to the first longitudinal side edge and in a second side to side direction by extension of the tape along the first longitudinal side edge relative to the filament and to the second longitudinal side edge; and wherein the filament and the tape body are arranged such that, with the rear surface attached to the object, the filament when pulled tears through at least part of the thickness of the tape body along the length of the tape body at its position on the tape body spaced from both side edges (33, 34) so as to leave on one side of the position a first portion of the tape body including the first side edge and so as to leave on an opposite side of the position a second portion of the tape body including the second side edge, rather than pulling out from one side edge of the tape body. a tape body of an extensible material having a front surface, a rear surface, a first longitudinal side edge and a second longitudinal side edge; the tape body having an adhesive on the rear surface for removable attachment to an object; the front surface of the tape being free from adhesive; the tape body having a longitudinally extending filament attached thereto; characterized in that the filament is attached to the tape body at a position thereon spaced from both side edges (33, 34) of the tape body; wherein the tape body is arranged and the filament is arranged at a distance from both side edges (33, 34) to allow bending of the tape body, while the tape body remains flat, in a first side to side direction by extension of the tape body along the second longitudinal side edge relative to the filament and to the first longitudinal side edge and in a second side to side direction by extension of the tape along the first longitudinal side edge relative to the filament and to the second longitudinal side edge; and wherein the filament and the tape body are arranged such that, with the rear surface attached to the object, the filament when pulled tears through at least part of the thickness of the tape body along the length of the tape body at its position on the tape body spaced from both side edges (33, 34) so as to leave on one side of the position a first portion of the tape body including the first side edge and so as to leave on an opposite side of the position a second portion of the tape body including the second side edge, rather than pulling out from one side edge of the tape body.
