Give it here and I'll club some of the creases out of it before you leave, no man of mine is going to be seen in such a disgraceful loin cloth!"

So you ladies made this tedious work no man was ever bothered about such things.

What you all need is one of these each:-

That took real skill in ironing without burning the clothes.

They also had another function in the navy. We would get some bread from the galley, someone would swipe some Marge and we made toast by placing the hot iron on a slice of bread.

You can't do that with a steam iron. You get crumbs in the steam holes.:Banane43:
