wrong trade

[Belker]

No but I thought about it.Now we'll need a tumble dryer to dry the clothes in the winter.

You can't do that... and you a Prius driver! Tumble dryers are the most inefficient waste of electricity ever invented. Sure the clothes are barely damp coming out of modern washing machines. Go down the hardware and get yourself a decent quality chrome/metal shower curtain rail 6+ foot in length depending on the space you have available and install it between a couple of walls or a wardrobe and a wall in your spare room/home office/gym/whatever... hang the clothes on normal hangers and they'll be dry in a few hours at room temperature.

Bollocks on that !
Tumble Dryer ALL THE WAY !!

Lunacy. You're shelling out hard earned so you can do twice the amount of work to achieve the same result, not to mention destroying the environment!

Hangin clothes indoors can cause mould

I don't like them but for emergencies they can be useful.The other alternative is sticking the clothes on the rads which aren't great for the aul Sinuses. Between the tumble dryer and a dehumidifier, I'll be negating any space saved by removing the immersion tank!

Haven't had any such problems, Octy and I haven't used the tumble dryer for at least 3 years. When I was dragged up they didn't exist, a clothes horse was as good as it got and that never done us any harm. These days the clothes are virtually dry coming out of the new fangled washing machines, back when I was a chissler we had a spinning machine that danced around the kitchen like a Dalek without achieving a whole lot... and it'd be cruel to keep birds in a cage, it'd drive the cat nuts.

The shared tumbler dryer in my apartment block of 4 costs about Two Euros per month per dry, no Fookin clothes line, no Fookin clothes horse, the clothes come back dry, fer 2 Euro, I'd just rather pay it, rather than when the tumble dryer broke a few years back and clothes hanging off chairs and couches fer weeks in the winter trying to dry them out, Bollocks on that ever again !

if you throw a couple of ice cubes in to the dryer on top of the clothes it'll steam the wrinkles out of your shirt and trousers as everything dries.

A clean tennis ball does the same. Throw it in and they come out wrinkle-free.
