What do you do for the 360 days a year were it's not pissing it down? 

Buy the 'Easy wear' shirts that dont need ironing!

 

Used to iron 5 shirts every Sunday evening for when I was working away in and around Newcastle. Fucking hated ironing so bought some of these easy wear creaseless shirts. Fold them up and pack in a 'pizza box' like shirt carrier and job's a good un.

You don't iron your shoes? Disgraceful.

Haven't ironed anything in at least 5 years

Seems like a strange way to be spending any time

Tried the idea of hanging the wet clothing on a hanger and now I have little fucking hills on my shoulders where the hanger has clearly ended. 

 

Clothes still turned out creased but the fucking shoulder nipples are impossible to get rid of by iron.

Real men iron. Up to recently I was ironing up to 128 pillow cases, 12 quilt covers and 16 towels, as well as our normal stuff, a week. Get a good steam iron, stick a comedy on the tele and away you go. 

So if I stay at yours then I get one duvet cover, one and a quarter towels but ten and two thirds pillows? That is a fucked up B&B

It was up to 16 people in 12 beds - 3 kings, 1 super king and 8 singles. 128 pillow cases - 4 per person plus a spare set (16 x 4 + 64). It was actually 2 towels per person so up to 32 per week. Self catering not b&b.

 

You did ask.

Nothing beats sliding inbetween ironed, starched linen sheets but I think they became extinct sometime in the 60s.

2 pillows per person each with 2 pillow cases on = 4 per person

 

Breakfast my arse

Ironing bedsheets is wool behaviour.

Hang on. He said 128 pillow cases, 12 quilt covers and 16 towels a week. Forgive me, but surely if you stay at his for one night, you'd be using eighteen and two sevenths pillowcases, one and five sevenths quilt covers and two and two sevenths towels? 

 

Am I missing something here?
