Irene loves ironing. So much so that she has taken it up as a profession! All the busy women in the neighbourhood save up their piles of dried washing for Irene to plough through on her weekly visit. With such hectic lives each household accumulates a mountain of creased items and here is a rundown of her last busy week.
Lesley of Press Road, whose ironing took half an hour longer than the Flatt Street resident, had her ironing done before Thursday, which was the day on which Irene visited Maureen. Nina’s huge pile of washing took half an hour longer to iron than the enormous mound of clothes waiting every week in Pattdown Way while the Tuesday session was the quickest of the five to complete. HOURS TAKEN Joyce’s ironing took Irene three and a half hours to do while the first job of the week, in Steem Lane, didn’t last for three hours. Creece Drive was the location for the longest visit but it didn’t take place on a Friday.
Can you locate the street in which each woman lived, the day of Irene’s visit and how long the session lasted? DM1ST mirror.co.uk TUESDAY 10.11.2020 DAILY MIRROR 7
