Irons packed up

[Tashyboy]

I know nothing last forever, it’s probably the cable which am gonna change later today. But why do they make them nigh on impossible to get into. Just before Xmas I struggled to get a particular screw head off. A pal got me a small socket set for different screw heads. There are 13 different types of screw heads. Why? Do they not want Tash or a n other to try and repair stuff. it just seems stupid. Flippin iron.

You can probably blame bodgers like my dad. I grew up in a house where broken electrical plugs were replaced with matches or bits of cardboard holding the wires in the wall socket. An extension cable was just 2 lengths of cable salvaged from the tip, wires twisted together and covered in tape. It's a miracle I made it through childhood.
Only a week ago I relieved him of a cordless strimmer he'd tried to repair. Checked it out at home to find he'd used a piece of card to deactivate a safety cut-out switch.

It's because there are different size and standards of screw heads, just like nuts and bolts.

A lot of the more "modern" screw heads are much better than the old phillips/pozidrive/superpozidrive or just slotted. Then of course we have the security heads as well
The modern iron is assembled by robot and not intended for repair. The old irons you could repair, but boy were they a nightmare to do.

Tash must be like my old friend Spats.
One could cut oneself getting too close to the crease on his trousers.

A chipper?

Sadly there is no longer a Mrs Flog. I have got several irons kicking around the place. My daughter left them. I probably use one about once every few months. Tumble drier and lots of clothes to leave them to hang until the creases drop out.

Chuck it in the recycling and get another. £15. Job done.

it’s a waste of three hours of my flippin life and £8 for a flexi cable I didn’t need. Looks like Missis T will be getting a new iron before I get new irons.
Wonder if she goes for a fitting?

Best not to know. I invested in a magic basket, best thing I ever bought, I just throw my used clothes in it and it washes them, irons them and then folds them up and puts them away.

There was me thinking that Forest Pines was just the last straw for your irons. Use an apostrophe.
