Think ironing is dull? You're not alone.
But now there's
a whole new leisure movement dedicated to livening this tedious
chore up.
 |
| Is this
ironing? Yes, it is. Is this extreme ironing? No. |
It's called
Extreme Ironing. And it's taking South Yorkshire by storm.
Extreme Ironing
afficionados get their kicks by ironing in the open air - and the
more outlandish the environment, the better.
Mountains, rivers,
tall buildings, mineshafts... no location is unsuitable for a quick
spot of ironing.
The benefits
of the pursuit are clear. Good exercise. A sense of exhilaration.
And really, really smart clothes.
