Laundrettes are all the same

Laundromat (or laundrette as they say here), Greenwich Village, New York. I have to use a laundrette now – I did use a laundrette for a brief time in 2002, but had the ‘luxury’ of having a washer/dryer (which never dried) for the last couple of years. Each week we do a load or two, and it costs about 5 pounds. Which is why we pay a little less rent, apparently. Anyway, it’s not so bad as it’s only a two minute walk away, but they should make laundrettes a little more comfy. I’ve yet to take a photo of the Barbican Laundrette but I look forward to doing so.
