The message
from "Owain" contains these words:

What's a hot press?


| It's Posh speak for an airing cupboard, I think. :-)


| Onbly my Irish friends call cupboards 'presses'.
| less posh, and more regional I think.


'wall press' is widely used by some of the better Edinburgh solicitors'
property depairtments, so I don't think it can be anything else but regional
posh.


IIRC press is civil service speak for cupboard so not exactly posh on
that account.
