Dear Spinster,

My best friend and I have this ongoing argument whenever she sees me doing the laundry when she’s round my house. She keeps saying that she can’t believe that I don’t iron my underwear. I think this is ridiculous – I mean who irons their undies ?!!

Thanks,

Kate

Dear Kate,

Having seen you coming back from nights out, I expect your friend is telling you that you should be wearing more robust underwear, of the kind that doesn’t need a travel iron and tweezers to press.

Yours fragrantly,

The Spinster of the Parish
