Do you iron your clothes

Post by Marc Meakin »

I have never used an iron.
My current partner does iron my clothes but I never ask her to
But as I spend most of my working life wearing some kind of uniform I have never really needed to.
But it's surprising how many people don't own an iron.
I did used to get suits dry cleaned when I needed to wear them on the rare occasion I needed to wear one.
So should irons be confined to joke items or is ironing still a thing ?

Irons are definitely joke items.

I iron shirts when I need to. Usually every couple of years or so.

I can't remember the last time I ironed anything. It must be several years - more than five - quite possibly ten I'd guess.

Last clothes of mine that got ironed were by that nice chappie (Lee?) at the countdown studios :)

MrT occasionally irons a shirt. Crazy fool.

Aye, when a dress shirt is required. I do recall my mum used to iron everything that came off the line whilst watching Corrie.

If I ever do some ironing, I play poker at the same time to make it more tolerable.
