We don't have a maid; we live in the West.

We live in Bangkok. Sorry that you live in a fragmented part of the world.

Compared to where you live it is years ahead of you. Still I guess a nasty attitude is due to your environment. You will be fine when you grow up.

I don't think I will grow much more. I am nearly 80

Most posters could do with ironing their bodies.....knock a few of the wrinkles out. Then be truly hansum man!

How else would I iron my daily Bangkok Post?

If you like quirky stay at the Thistle at Heathrow. This 60's brand  hotel has a trousers press built into the wardrobe. 

Be careful I nearly decapitated myself trying to get it out!!

I have an iron.

I have no ironing board.

I consequently do not use an ironing board.

But, I need an ironing board.

What kind of ironing board might be best, given that I have all 100-percent cotton shirts?

I will iron, meaning have have someone else iron, trousers, socks, shirts, and sheets, only.

I could sleep better if I were to have someone iron my sheets.

I have a Philips iron, and it has been used twice.

I think I might get a heavier iron, and one which will emit much more steam....

So, probably I need more wattage for that.  Also, I need one that will not throw drops of water on the shirts, occasionally.

In my view, having a good iron, and someone to iron, is almost indispensable.

But, to be able to use either, then an ironing board is a must.

Maybe I will advertise to find a used board.

 

Living next to the universities is good because you can take your washed laundry to have it professionally pressed.

But, I live too far from the uni, these days.

This is one of the main things I miss.

I do, wife has aways hated ironing and has never deciphered the programmes in the washing machine. I am the Dhobi Wallah.

If you have the right kind of coat hangers, gravity can iron your clothes for you. 😊

Not some school uniforms.

Well, the wife irons all her stuff (she is a nurse), so she has to look presentable. On the other hand, I am retired and couldn't care less, but I do all the cooking and other household chores.

Daughter uses it for her school kit.
