    Try it, getting into nice freshly ironed bedding is a great experience.

    I have to agree with that - my live-in ironer does a top job. Bedding is the only thing that gets ironed normally. Though if I lived on my Bill it wouldn't top my 'essential chores' list.

    We probably save a fortune by not ironing stuff - Mrs. P. reckons the tumble dryer knocks most of the creases out

    Not sure if I agree - though it might be true for some materials/fabrics.

    Wouldn't dream of wearing un-ironed clothes.

    The great thing about valve amps is that you get too heat your home at the same time as listening to music so a piece of kit that has dual purpose!

    I would say they are actually an energy saver and because you dont have to turn your heating on great for the environment.

    Yes indeed I have made all sorts of convoluted justifications in the past

    My usual one is that it keeps me out of the pub. My drinking contemporaries spend waay more than I do on their hobby.

    Exactly my excuse but it happens to be true. Anyone who saw me at the Wam show knows what I'm like when I haven't got my system

    Lawrence, I did see you at the Wam show for all of five seconds - you stuck your head round the door, told someone to say Lawrence001 been round, then was gone before I could get off my arse to say hi... Way too quick for me, like a room-hopping ninja

    Maybe next time, if the asylum seekers don't get the place first.
