Yet another trivial poll

[ladyofastolat]

At work, there is a kitchen about 20 steps from my desk, and at any time I like during the day, I can wander in and make myself a hot drink, and bring it back to my desk to drink while working. I was quite horrified to discover the other day that Pellinor has to buy any drink that he consumes from the staff canteen, and can only do so at designated break times. I'm curious to find out if his situation is normal and I'm just very lucky, of if I'm the normal one, and he's horribly deprived.

..and why flatirons, anyway? As opposed to bumpy irons? Ridge-and-furrow irons? Spiky irons? Irons embossed with a 3-D representation of Queen Victoria?

ISTR that the flatiron was the first version of the iron, the box iron, which was taller cos it had a box that you put charcoal in, came in later. So, flat thing that you stuck into the fire to heat up, compared to tall boxy thing - "still using a flatiron Deirdre? I've got a box iron now, stays hot so much longer" etc etc?

Could be wrong. I never iron anything.
