Title: Launderettes
Post by: Nick on October 05, 2010, 11:34:59 AM
Haven't used one since my student days ( Violins:) and they are rarer now, but there is one locally. Have been fighting a losing battle with washing and drying now for weeks, so have decided to venture into one later to use their dryers.

What can possibly go wrong?  scared2:

Then you will have to confront the attendant who will point to notices that say "Dryer's are for the use of those using our washing machine's". Wimmin (harridans all) will glare at you for daring to think you can dry washing done elsewhere. You could start an argument with the attendant about the misplaced apostrophes and get banned for life.


Just some of the things that could possibly go wrong.

Good plan ~ always check the dress code in order not to look out of place ~ very wise.

Just a thought but if Nick is using the laundrette because he cant keep up with the washing how many machines is he going to be using at the same time and why do I have the image of a soap sud tsunami in my head.  whistle:
