    Man Of Iron

    I dont know about you , but Ive always found Ironing at best a tedious if not downright irritating chore.

    My current gig Ive been living away from the Pruffock mansion so I cannot rely upon my staff to perform such mundane tasks as ironing , cleaning the stables etc .

    Im currerntly working on a site whereby to even wear a tie would be considered tantamount to heresy - so my office attire is ultra casual - so much so that for the past few weeks Ive managed to get by without irioning my jeans, denim short - cotton top etc

    In fact the ugly truth is that I dont even have an Iron at all.

    Am I alone in living Ironing Free ?

    Finally I wonder what the environmental impact if the ironing ritual - not to mention the time consumed - I guess if you were to calculate the joules expended by the average laundry then multiply that by several million then you mght get some idea of the terrible price we pay for - what exactly ?

      I am quite happy to wear unironed stuff to clientco. Mrs BP insists on ironing everything.

        I live ironing free. I put my dirty clothes on the floor, and they reappear magically in my wardrobe, cleaned and pressed.
        Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

          If you find a large bin bag at the front entrance to Chateau BP, it will be a consignment of crumpled shirts from the Tester Manor housekeeping department to keep Mrs BP busy during the week.

            I once ironed a Subbuteo pitch to get the creases out, but that's about it.
            Where are we going? And what’s with this hand basket?

              The missus loves ironing so much that when I flop me saus into her gob, she gets the wrinkles out of it in about ten seconds flat

                  I was taught how to iron mens shirts in my domestic science lessons at
                  school - Oh those crazy nuns!

                  I still do Mr P's shirts when I'm around, but I do as little as I can get away with.
                  I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this
