Mrs BP insists on ironing both for some odd reason.....

15 mins If I do it pi$$ed

3 minutes per shirt is very good going. You haven't said that they look better once ironed though.

Wilmslow, is that you?

You'll be wearing those nasty polyester easy care things soon.

Personally, I just outsourced the ironing to the local dry cleaners for about 80p a pop, easy peasy.
