I recently saw an assistant in clothes shop whizzing thru the "ironing" at a rate of knots with a garment steamer. I'm very tempted to buy one but am wondering if the ones sold for domestic use are any good. Does anyone have one?


I'm thinking of something like this http://www.scottsofstow.co.uk/Garment-Steamer/Product1_22051_-1_17958_10551

I used to iron EVERYTHING - I mean even vests and pants etc - I blame my Mum who was the same!


These days I have a new rule - as soon as it is dry I sort it into piles and put away as much as I can get away with not ironing, it has made such a difference and quite honestly for things like kids T shirts and leggings they look just fine without.


Still iron my work stuff etc. of course, but it has revolutionised my life, if only I could wear my exercise gear 24/7 I'd never have to iron again LOL.

Pricey but Brooks Brothers and others have non iron shirts and ever since the Mr got a few the iron has been in a closet, they are wonderful and on sale I think they are worth the expense. I just wash them with other clothes, shake them out once they are out of the wash and dry them on a hanger. Wa-la.

    • Who was Diana Rayworth, when 'resting from acting'. Her successful career was very sadly cut short following a devastating accident. 
    • thanks Jenijenjen and all - yes, i remember walking or taking the bus from the elephant (where i was working) to Camberwell to get there.  I think Tim - who's still at Franklin's -  was there in those days, and the woman who ran the cafe!  Other food places that i remember fondly are the ones in Neal's Yard (with the Hunkin sculpture that you could put a coin in ) and the basement lunch place at the Tottenham Court Road junction with Hanway Street... 
    • Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  times. Hope you got it sorted x
    • People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.
