It should be made a crime. Applying a red-hot iron over and over to a poor sock or t shirt sounds like some kind of medieval torture. Clap the ironers in irons!

Ah, I’m of the generation that Discovered Feminism and decided that ironing was part of a patriarchal society that chained women to the kitchen sink and the ironing board! It all went downhill from then on. I’ve not even stuffed a mushroom for 50 years…

In truth I have never been a MSP ( my wife wouldnt let me) the only part our marriage I took no part in was giving birth.

I’m with you Catrin, ironing was what poor Dobby did to his hands to punish himself.
My ironing board sits unloved, unused and rusting behind the utility room door. I do use the iron, constantly, as a door stop.

Ooh yes, I’d forgotten that; you have a brilliant memory. Dobby is a lesson to us all. It’s not for nothing that Iron Maidens were invented.

Oh, hello Swampy, Glad you managed to tear yourself away from the ironing board.

To be fair, from what I remember, it was quite a calming thing to do, until you caught your hand on the hot edge and ended up screaming round the kitchen like a Wailing Banshee with a third degree burn.

You said you were in a swamp trench this morning. And you said you were in the swamp yesterday. This swamp is very wet and ironing in it is a silly thing to do. My electrician nephew told me that electrickery and water are not good friends.
Just saying.

Oh God I know that feeling. 11 weeks for me as well. If only I could see his dear face again, to feel his arms, to hear his voice. So sudden, never said goodbye. I’m just existing

Ironing board and iron gone to charity shop. Iron hardly used. Norman used to iron his white shirts for his Masonic meetings but that was it.
