I don't think the modern ones use up as much electricity. I use one in the Winter. If I hang out things during the better weather, I put things that might need ironing in for about two minutes and they come out smooth.
I find during the Winter months that you often come home to wet washing.
Yes, I admit people didn't use them years ago and I am perhaps much lazier than previous generations of my family but I guess one could say that of many modern appliances. After all, years ago we didn't have electric light, TV's, refrigerators or telephones but most people have these things now. Life changes.
Can I use my bus pass on London buses?
Awwww, he is so happy to see me…..
