The email from the hotel invited patrons to ‘Give the wife, girlfriend or partner a rest tomorrow night, because the Carlton Draught girls will be in to do your laundry (well your ironing anyway)’. From here.
Suprise, suprise the promotion didn't go down too well on social media. It's really pretty icky if you think about it, not only the presumption that it is "the" wife, girlfriend or partner who does your ironing, but that you can lighten their load by going to the pub and drinking beer while some other female (most likely) or male (just for show) irons a token shirt. Like it's not even as if they are going to iron the whole overflowing basket of household ironing for you, is it? Cartlon Draught published a response here, "Very few people are fond of ironing so we thought we'd offer drinkers the chance to have their shirt ironed when they purchase a Carlton Draught. This promotion is open to men and women over the age of 18."
