It would take a 6 man room to stow that thing!

A decent £40 Iron will be good enough mate, when you have 1 minute to get from PT, showered and into training rig only to realise something isn't ironed correctly you don't want to be chucking that beast around when a normal iron will suffice :D

Or is that just taking the p*ss? :lol:
Dont take an iron like that, it is ridiculous. A £20 model from tesco will do just fine. You do lots of ironing in phase one, but not so much as to warrant an industrial ironing system!

No, you can only wear stuff recommended by the sick bay/ward, besides, most supports provide little more than psychological support anyway. If you are so injured that you need a support to do phys then you will be put in hunter until you are fit enough to not wear it.

No mate, the tea room is not really for you, its for you to make the wets for the PRMC staff, in foundation you wont have time to have a wet.

hope this helps!
