At least they have company , Michael Collins was truly alone for 30 orbits of the moon or around 76 hours. Every time he past round to the dark side of the moon he was totally cut off from everyone for 48 mins.

Do you mean tumble dryer?

If so just expensive to use and use cost conscious Brits try to not waste money

Drying outside is my preferred (and cheapest) option, but often the weather is too wet so I have to use a dryer.

Hanging damp stuff on a clothes horse in front of the fire, as my mother used to do, is not acceptable. I find the smell and inconvenience extremely annoying.
