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.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.
