uk.news.yahoo.com/4/20110418/toddly-m1-extreme-ironing-cc3a409.htmlA man has been spotted doing his ironing on the closed side of the motorway. Extreme ironing on the M1 motorway Play video * Video: Extreme ironing on the M1 motorway Drivers were left stunned as they saw him walk onto the road, put up his board, and get going. He didn't have to dodge cars as the southbound stretch has been deserted for days. Part of the M1 between junctions 1 and 4 has been closed off since Friday after a fire broke out at a scrapyard in the Mill Hill area of north London. According to the official website, extreme ironing is "the latest danger sport that combines the thrills of an extreme outdoor activity with the satisfaction of a well-pressed shirt."

Oh, you don't have to go onto the MI to find out why ironing is dangerous.
Try donning a bikini, drinking half a bottle of wine, heating your iron to "steam" then playing T-Rex at full blast while trying to press your partner's underwear.

I'm still wondering what was the point? The motorway was closed, so there was no traffic. And unless he had a battery operated iron? ? It seems such a stupid thing to do.

I hate it when hubby thinks he is helping with the laundry and takes it out of the dryer and dumps it all in a chair in a nice tight bundle. So all those clothes I could have pulled out and hung up.......now need to be ironed. And the silly man doesn't understand when I'm all annoyed.......because he was helping!!!!

See, I don't understand you lot. I quite like ironing (that's not an invitation to do yours though). All that creased laundry just waiting to be ironed smooth. Put on your favourite dvd (Titanic, Gone With The Wind, Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, any Fred and Ginger movie) and you can while away the hours, no problem.
