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.

    • If no one else has a problem, then it sugggests that the delivery person may not be aware of any harm and would respond well to a conversation. It also goes without saying that just because no one else has a problem, that the OP is not valid in raising their issues.
    • Remember, you never know what someone else is going through behind closed doors....
    • Is anyone else having difficulty booking Silver Swim sessions (Tuesday and Thursday between 3pm-4pm?) Almost all the spaces are taken before the online booking system opens at 10pm several days before. Last night there appeared to be one space available for next Tuesday. I tried to book at one second past 10pm but was unsuccessful. This seems to have been a recent phenomenon. I made a telephone call this morning but just received a recorded message saying that the voicemail box was full. Am I right in assuming that in person bookings are now taking precedence over online ones?
    • I completely agree with you, Angelina. But it's worth noting that no one else has a problem with her, or finds her rude /  has mentioned her aggressively banging gates / ringing doorbells etc.
