Help finding Iron lady, ironing service.
 

I have been having my ironing done by a lady called Beverley who I believe lives in West End Oswaldtwistle and is know as The Iron lady.

I had a desk clean up and seem to have lost her phone number and wonder if anybody knows her or her number.
Her husband usually picks up my things at tea time and returns them ironed the next day, I know nothing else about him or her but will need to contact her again soon to do some more ironing for me.
I don't want anybody to suggest another person, just the number of Iron lady please.
Just PM me if you know the number, I am not trying to advertise on the forum.

Thanks in advance.

PM sent.I found the number on Yell.com

Re: Help finding Iron lady, ironing service.
 

Beat me to it Max. Won't need to PM him now if you have done so.

Re: Help finding Iron lady, ironing service.
 

We all love to helpwhen we can

Re: Help finding Iron lady, ironing service.
 

Thanks maxthecollie, I rang the number just to confirm and it is the same lady.
I never thought she would be in the phone book or yellow pages, I was under the impression it was just a small home service.

I send a few shirts and chinos every three weeks and am happy to keep on doing so.
Thanks to you also Sue.

There you are Russell, you're obviously dealing with a professional service. Accyweb to the rescue again!

Re: Help finding Iron lady, ironing service.
 

Could I ask how this post differs from the one regarding Roofelt - in that in the other one the original poster is cynically accused of promoting another company ie Roofelt

I tend to trust that if somebody posts on here under Q and A's then it's a genuine request for assistance but cynically some members always think there's some ulterior motive

Re: Help finding Iron lady, ironing service.
 

He did say at the end of his post he was not trying to advertise and if you gave a bit of thought to Gremlin's recent circumstances you might be a bit more understanding.

Re: Help finding Iron lady, ironing service.
 

Gremlin has been on the forum for quite a while and has posted to many threads.......that is probably some of the difference.

Some people come on here, post nothing other than a request for help finding a tradesman...or company...this inevitably raises suspicion that they are not really looking for the tradesman but doing a bit of 'buck-shee' advertising.
And then they are never seen again.

I am not being 'fly' by telling you this, but just giving you an answer to the question you posed.......I just hope it wasn't one of those rhetorical questions.

Re: Help finding Iron lady, ironing service.
 

I think anybody has a right to ask a question on Accyweb and for it not to be treated cynically by anybody

There are lots of examples on the site were companies have been named as providing poor service which could have an adverse affect on their business how do we not know that it's not a rival trying to destroy anothers business. I don't see how somebody asking for a contact number is advertising - for all you know the person could be contacting them to make a complaint

People have asked on here for electricians, plumbers etc again whats to stop the tradesman posting a glowing reference about themselves

As to knowing Gremlins circumstanes - why should I be aware of any members circumstances, thats not being callous I just dont understand why I should be aware of another members circumstances

Re: Help finding Iron lady, ironing service.
 

In this case it wasn't, as Margaret pointed out, Gremlin is a familiar figure in the forum so it was clear his was a genuine query. Or perhaps you're referring to your question and my answer, which wasn't meant to be cynical but informative.
As for Gremlin's situation, I don't know how often you visit the forum, but he posted this thread a few weeks ago (see especially posts 1, 33 and 39). I thought you might be aware of it. He has been receiving support from Accyweb members since then but I won't say any more as I respect his privacy.

Re: Help finding Iron lady, ironing service.
 

Because, quite often folks will post on here about a situation they find themselves in at the present time, usually as a way of easing a burden, acquiring some solace or sharing their empathy with others undergoing some upset.

As to Gremlin, his Wife recently passed away (written about within these very pages) & within this cyber community, extended AccyWeb family he managed to find some small comfort for his loss aided by the "Friendship" & support of those posting with words of compassion or a sorrow shared.

Sorry Hedman it may help you if I posted the link I omitted earlier.

Re: Help finding Iron lady, ironing service.
 

Thank you for the support you are giving me after I asked in all innocence about a lady who does my ironing.
I asked for a phone number to be sent to me via PM so as to avoid anybody thinking I was advertising some one I was connected to.
I didn't know the lady's surname so I was unable look her up in the phone book and never though she would be in Yellow pages.
I heard about her through a flyer posted through my letter box and thought maybe she was a housewife earning a bit extra by doing ironing for the likes of me. I have never had to do it since I left the army in 1961 (that gives my age away).

Anyway thanks to Maxthecollie I now have the number and rang it just to make sure it was the right one.

Thanks again to all who are on my side. I was going ignore the thread but decided to put my side to the debate.

Re: Help finding Iron lady, ironing service.
 

The point I was making is that we dont treat all posts equally in that people make a judgement based on how many posts an Accyweb member has made as opposed to taking a post at face value. In respect of the roofelt query it was another member who was cynical regarding the motives for the post

My post was not in way a criticism of the original post but rather how we treat similar requests for information,No offence was intended to Gremlin and having read your link he has my sincere condolences and I hope I've caused no offence

Re: Help finding Iron lady, ironing service.
 

Your question about yer missus, when she was carrying the olympic torch wasn't answered cynically was it? Perhaps thats cos yeh have been around awhile.? seem to recall gremlin helping out wi that, but then as yeh dont come on that much, perhaps yeh aint aware of the his circs.:rolleyes: also yeh aint aware of what goes on on here sometimes.:rolleyes:

Re: Help finding Iron lady, ironing service.
 

Did I say that all posts are dealt with cynically? I just highlighted that somebody on the roofelt post had questioned the motives for the post.

I've also appreciated in the past the help I've received via the website No offence was intended to Gremlin. I come on Accyweb as and when I need/want to.

I just wish that posts would be taken more at face value without there having to be a hidden agenda

Re: Help finding Iron lady, ironing service.
 

No hidden agenda wi this kid, just say as i think, if anyone disagrees or agrees, couldn't really give a stuff,

Re: Help finding Iron lady, ironing service.
 

oh dear, what have I started.
i should have kept my mouth shut and gone out scruffy.

Re: Help finding Iron lady, ironing service.
 

It's Saturday night Russell, sometimes folks just need something to occupy themelves. Specially when there's nothing on TV - OK unless you like snooker...

Re: Help finding Iron lady, ironing service.
 

They could always come round here and do some ironing for me.
I am in bed at the moment with a back which is reluctant to let me stand for more than a few minutes and reading a book by Bill Bryson.
There are other authors by the way in case you think I am advertising his work.

The iPad is on the bedside cabinet keeping an eye on this thread, there are other tablets by the way to watch the internet on.

Re: Help finding Iron lady, ironing service.
 

I see you haven't lost your sense of humour!;)

When I first looked at your post I read Enid Blyton for Bill Bryson - thought you were heading for your second childhood!

Hope your back gets better soon.

Re: Help finding Iron lady, ironing service.
 

The old back has had a couple of operation in the past 14 years but is normally OK.
I took friend to three different supermarkets today and stupidly walked around with him.
I think the twisting and dodging other people upset my back.
A good night rest will put it right.
That and a nice big glass of, better not say.

Re: Help finding Iron lady, ironing service.
 

Good, night night, sleep well :thepint::sleep8:

Re: Help finding Iron lady, ironing service.
 

Gremlin, I don't think I said how sorry I was for your loss, if not I do so now.
I can't imagine life without my other half- ironing shirts must be the least of your problems.
As for the back- it's no fun, is it? I spent 7 months last year unable to walk more than 100 feet without sitting down. They(the experts) say you should keep it moving but we all have different causes.
I'm sure hedman meant no offence to you- there are so many threads and posts on Accyweb it's impossible to keep up to date on everyone.
They do say two big glasses do you more good than one! It won't cure it but you won't care.

Re: Help finding Iron lady, ironing service.
 

Gordon

Indeed no offence was intended to Gremlin my point was more about the responses that are sometimes made in response to requests for information and once again if any was taken then I sincerely apologise.

In no way was I suggesting that this was advertising but just in some other posts there are responses raising questions on the validity of the question

Some posts for example of asked directly which is the best taxi company or your favourite takeaway and people pass comments either positive or negative without question

Re: Help finding Iron lady, ironing service.
 

That's usually because the person doing the asking has come on out of the blue, has no history with the site & is "asking" about recommendations for this or that & well, would you believe it, another new member signs up & "advises" the asker ............ cynical minds may see some ploy in this & raise queries about the asker & their integrity.

Gremlin is well known on the site & those others you mention are usually known to other members so are seen as genuine & not a plant. Anyways tuition over, so lets just let it rest now Hedman, all friends again & no ones honour or integrity impinged eh ? :)

Re: Help finding Iron lady, ironing service.
 

Totally agree susie, Gremlin is one of the most genuine chaps you'd hope to meet

Re: Help finding Iron lady, ironing service.
 

You haven't started anything Russell, take no notice

Re: Help finding Iron lady, ironing service.
 

Only two glasses Gordon:D

Re: Help finding Iron lady, ironing service.
 

Only for Gremlin, he still has shirts to iron! But I did say big ones.
Now you and I??

Re: Help finding Iron lady, ironing service.
 

I never took offence hedman and thank your for your sincere condolences. I was only too pleased to help when you asked for photos of your wife with the Olympic torch.

I do understand where you were coming from with your post and realize it was not aimed at me.

Thank you also Gordon Booth, I don't always read every thread myself and have probably missed a lot.
My poor old back is much better today and I must resist visiting three supermarkets in a day.
I know my mate was only trying to help me by keeping my mind occupied but I suffered a bit last night.

Hopefully everybody is friends once again and we can get back to normality.

Re: Help finding Iron lady, ironing service.
 

No shirts to iron Gordon, I have the lady's number and they will be going back to her soon.

I sleep well with a pair of co codamols inside me and a few glasses of Muscadet, there are other wines available but they are for next week.

Re: Help finding Iron lady, ironing service.
 

No shirts to iron, Gremlin? Forget the two limit then, those co codamols take a lot of washing down.
A glass for each pill then one to take their taste away, after that who's counting?
