DH has "suggested" that I should not leave the tumble dryer on when I am out due to the risk of overheating and the house burning down. Apparently this happened to Terry Wogan.
I have never heard of tumble dryers being a particular fire risk and would rather not leave half dried clothes if I have to turn if off to go out. I am also of the opinion that the risk of fire is small and actually I would rather not be in the house if the tumble dryer is going to spontaneously combust . Also, we leave on (e.g) the oven, washing machine, other electrical applicances while we are out and surely these also have risk of catching fire?
I genuinely do not know if IABU and will organise my future tumble drying habits round the responses I get.
