    I wear suit, shirt, tie to work. Suit gets dry cleaned so doesn't need to be ironed. I usually iron two weeks worth of shirts at a time, and can normally rattle through them in an hour and a bit. I guess that's 6-7 minutes per shirt. Piece of cake when you get going. I usually stick on a movie or some music to make it less mind numbingly dull.
    Everything else, apart from the odd weekend shirt, I'm happy to wear slightly creased and allow my body heat to slowly flatten out the creases.

    My mum wouldn't iron my stuff. I had to wash and iron my own clothes from the age of about 12 onwards. Hence I was always dirty and crumpled. Her argument was that I would be going to Uni one day and would have to learn sometime! 12!

    Ive no idea where there figure of 20 pre cent was derived from - but as Ive now read it on the Internet I will take that as Gospel - and can now transform my laziness into a form of smug environmental superiority.

    Did you know that Albert Einstien didnt wear socks ?

    I tend to wear a shirt to work- even if it's a casual style they still need ironing. Looking creased is just poor form for a chap...

    I once ironed a Subbuteo pitch to get the creases out, but that's about it.

    If you find a large bin bag at the front entrance to Chateau BP, it will be a consignment of crumpled shirts from the Tester Manor housekeeping department to keep Mrs BP busy during the week.
