A New Iron

 I don't use my iron very often.  My mum bought it for me when I went away to college, so when I noticed that the flex was fraying last time I used it, I worked out that I'd had it for forty three years!

So I went down to the electrical shop by the Drill Hall, to see what they had in stock.  I admitted to the chap there that, although my old iron was a steam iron, I never put water in it.

"We've got a dry iron!" he said, and picked one out for me for £20.

If it lasts as long as the last one, I'll never need to buy an iron again!
