      Or

      Hang your shirts up in the bathroom, put the shower on really hot briefly and turn it off, leave said shirts in the bathroom to steam and teh creases will come out.

      Failing that buy some decent shirts from T.M Lewin ( who always have a sale on), Thomas Pink or Gieves and Hawkes, and as earlier suggested drop them off at the dry cleaners on Friday and pick up Monday.

      simples.

        T.M Lewin always have a 4(or 5) for £100 offer. They are nice shirts as well, just a bit on the boring side

          They're the DFS of the shirt world in the fact there's always an advert about their sale ending, but I have yet to see it finish

                My clothes are ironed on a Sunday and packed. They are hung up on arrival at the hotel and if the creases fall out, then they fall out. If they don't, then they don't.
                I find people want me for my expertise and are not offended by my 'bag lady chic'
                I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this

                  Bag lady is my look. As I said to the hiring manager lady week, 'Nobody ever got fired for wearing a shirt like this at this stage of a project.'

                    A holdall and a few shirts on a hanger, hung up in the back of the car.
                    transfer the shirts straight into the wardrobe, so no need of an iron.

                      Shirt service FFS. Contractors these days...

                      Have a fresh, clean shirt delivered to your hotel every morning. And likely better quality than yer M&S crap.
