Hotel Irons

Reason for annoyance:

"They are about as effective and powerful as a hydro-electric milk float"

About Hotel Irons:

Hotels don't like you nicking their electricity - bad enough for them you use their hot water, they hate you using electricity so much that they employ cards on the lightswitches and put in as few power-sockets as possible.

Ring reception for an iron and they either deliver an iron that has seen better days (usually physically tied to the board, to stop you stealing it) or a new iron, marked 'Hotel Iron' (in case you have any thoughts about stealing it) that is so ineffective it's probably actually powered by internal batteries.

Ok, not as irritating as Robert Mugabe perhaps, but it annoys me that I have to spend 30 minutes battling with a pile of shit iron when the cheapest iron from Asda would probably do a better job in 2 minutes.

I'd use the hotel's own laundry service, only they charge about a tenner to launder a sock.

FACT: Hotel Irons are more irritating than People who go on strike but less irritating than Boris Johnson
