Laundromat

Prices are cheap, staff are nice but it's a nightmare getting change from notes if the owners arent in. Even surrounding shops don't have change and it's midday. Ideally card machines would be better.

Excellent place to do laundry while traveling! Friendly and helpful staff. Extremely clean facility.

I bet someone in the 1960's stated that the laundry would be a thing of the past n the turning of the next century. These public services are much used. It is not rare to see a laundry. One would think everyone could have their own washing machine in this age of technology.
Bedsit land is very much alive. Lots of bedsits are now poshly called studio flats! These homes, I use this term lightly, are small and cannot house a washing machine let alone swing a cat in!
So the laundry is very much alive and making a profit. And don't expect them to have died out by the turn of this century. One trend that never dies is poverty and bad housing.

This is the laundrette that I currently go to. I have a washing machine at home, so this is mainly used when I need a quick drying. Also when my puppy ruins our duvets. This is a fairly typical laundrette but I like it better than my old one, maybe because they put up lots of cool looking gig posters so I have something to read.
