It's not just the financial cost one has to consider but of course if we don't care about the environmental cost then by all means tumble dry to your heart's content....


I manage not to have washing hanging on radiators in the winter without a tumble dryer. One of those clothes horse dryer things (available from Farmers at a reasonable price) in an out of the way area sorts the washing needs of a family of four here.


Reading these comments about what you are paying for gas & electric makes me think my costs aren't too bad now!

If you don't care about the environment, then by all means watch Gogglebox and Downton Abbey. Or don't do any of the other million things you don't 'need' to that suck kWh. He who is without sin, Rodney..


The washing line is perfectly usable for quite a lot of the year. Not using a tumble dryer for the rest of the time is 'not' going to save the world.

no, it's one of those places with about six hundred cracks, air holes, drafts and dubious insulation.


I'm not a big fan of central heating on the whole and try to use it as little as possible. This way, of course, I can treat myself to some special electricity munching tumbling' fun without feeling too guilty.

A conspiracy perpetuated by wind farm manufacturers and purveyors of shit light bulbs - who dread the day when someone comes up with something that will make a real difference.


Don't worry, I'm not anti wind farms and of course have these products. But it's all just token pissing in the wind at the moment really.

I sit in the dark, with my pants whirring around in the tumble dryer


It's a worthwhile sacrifice *Bob*


I can't be looking at clothes on radiators either, reminds me of being a student/living in a shared house


No, no, no

Ugh clothes on radiators is rank but I hate using tumble dryers too. The clothes feel like they've been to the launderette which is another thread entirely.


I've got a brilliant, dare I say, stylish, wooden contraption+ from good old Dulwich DIY for the bargain price of ?27.99 that I hang clothes on once they've been out on the line. You should all try it.


Central heating before December. Pah. You're all a bunch of wimps.


+including new, never previously published, underwear and knitted tank top pics. Exclusive to the EDF.

    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
