67 amp hours I think if it was running constantly, which it won't have been, it'll switch on and off.

But John is correct, it would be on and off on a thermostat, so no-where near that in reality.

So what we can gather, it cost you

£3.08 electricity and a new iron.

No big deal then!

My iron turns itself off if it's not used for 20 minutes.

It's called a "man iron"
