Ironing leave? YOU recently reported the possibility of a rabbi being on 'gardening leave'. It has nothing to with actual gardening, so you will be disappointed if you expect to see anyone running away with Alan Titchmarsh, but it is the term used in the circumstance where a person is given paid leave. This usually applies to men and while I am not sure that there is a female counterpart,would it be ironing leave? Mrs Ethel Dinerstein, Whitefield, Manchester.
