Ironing 😂😂😂😂 I gave that up decades ago, after I divorced my FIRST ex husband 😂 https://www.mamamia.com.au/ironing-opinion/
nostr:npub1lzxs40ukpkqdw7kmj3tjwrg8akweckw0fcu6gkwh55szn6cwhfasq9ay2f I mostly gave up ironing after I gave up wearing business-formal clothing, over the period 1990-98 (mostly stopped from 1990 but had a couple of consulting gigs that demanded a suit and tie circa 1995-98).
But a big chunk of what made it possible was the advent of wrinkle-free fabrics and fabric treatments. Even casual clothing used to need ironing in the 70s and 80s. Pyjamas, even!

Basically, the main means of monetization of those spam sites.

It’s incredibly frustrating.
They like their cosy little duopoly and will defend it at pretty much any cost.

Edinburgh Council in Scotland is currently a Labour-Tory coalition, because it was the only way for Labour to keep the SNP out (the SNP has one fewer seat than Labour and the Conservatives combined, so it's a coalition of minority parties who hate one another) …

A much better location would be Bradford—major city in need of regeneration, good motorway links and an airport close by, just needs the railway link to London upgrading (currently it's on a spur from Leeds).
