Most people don’t look forward to tackling the pile of un-ironed clothes in their laundry basket.
And for John Lynch the decision to pick up an iron on Saturday ended up with him in deep water.
As the 38-year-old from Sheringham laboured over an ironing board, he was 12m under water and wearing scuba gear.
Mr Lynch was joined by 130 other divers in a former quarry in Chepstow, Gloucestershire, as he tried to break a world record in the sport of extreme ironing under water.
The current holders of most people ironing under the waves or surface is held by 72 Australians.(more)
The divers then decided to start a daily laundry service. Fluff and fold will be offered, but DRY cleaning is not an option…
Sheesh, what’s next, Underwater silver polishing?
