For most of us ironing is a boring chore but James Hook is a New Yorker who irons clothes in his local bar for free.

Mr Hook told TVNZ's Breakfast he used to hate ironing but to make him hate it less he learned to love it.

"A good way to love it would be to socialise it, to turn it from a private drudgeous task into a social event, so I started to do it in my neighbourhood bar.  They'll have a beer at the bar and I'll do their ironing and nobody is the wiser."
