Man irons on the M1
Extreme ironing fan makes the most of motorway closure.
* Monday 18 April 2011
The M1 being closed due to fire damage was inconvenient for many people, but for one fan of extreme ironing, it was clearly the perfect opportunity to indulge in his unusual hobby.
The video shows a man taking to the motorway to iron his shirt, bare-legged and wearing a dressing gown.
Extreme Irony
Extreme ironing was invented in the UK, and is described as 'the latest danger sport that combines the thrills of an extreme outdoor activity with the satisfaction of a well-pressed shirt'.
A seven-mile section of M1 has been closed since Friday after a blaze in North London. We can't help but think the ironing would've been even more extreme had it been open.

The extreme ironing stunt, which involves pressing clothing for fun in adventurous places, took place on the M1 motorway after a section was closed following a fire.
The mystery man, who was wearing a blue dressing gown and slippers, was captured on film by a news cameraman.
According to the activity's official website, extreme ironing is "the latest danger sport that combines the thrills of an extreme outdoor activity with the satisfaction of a well-pressed shirt."
The trend is believed to have started in Leicester in 1997 when rock climber Phil Shaw decided to mix his hobby with the mundane chore.
