Good
GL10 2PB
it's an ESSO station on the main road through the town. Easy access.
Leave M5 J12 southbound or J13 northbound.
If visiting daytime there are a few cafes open , also fish and chipperies/pizza places open up to 10pm. Also ale houses.
It's not the centre of the universe, but enough to occupy your mind as the drums go round.

Is it me or does that look a bit pricey?

Not having used a launderette since returning from N Z I'm not familiar to the pricing structure over here

 

[The Dotties]

I don't think £6.00 is bad for an 18lb (8kg) wash and dry to be honest.
Factor in convenience I reckon it's quite a good deal.
My socks would need shooting first though!

On a municipal campsite in France €8 for wash and dry, dryer is unlimited time,
Or appears to be according to @Ditcha 's wife & my own wife's observations

 

[Theonlysue]

I use colour catchers so I can wash everything together. The 18kg is good value

 

[Silver-Fox]

I stand corrected then

Maybe I'm just tight

Seem to remember we were paying $4 a load in N Z

Last time I used a laundrette it was 2/6d for a wash and 1s for drying.

Hummmmm look good but they do have the proviso that

• Safe for all colorfast washables.

So I guess they aren't necessary but who would take the risk! ?

 

[Sandancers]

Don't think we own 18kg of clothes !!

The last time I used one it was a farthing to bash your clothes on the rocks by the riverside and tumble dryers hadn't been invented. My mother regarded rocks as a luxury

They must have reduced the price between you looking at the pic and me looking....
It's only £4.

£4.00 for an eight kilogramme wash. Plus £2.00 to dry said load equals £6.00. as per my original post 'wash AND dry'.
There is an opticians in the town as well!!

Colour Catchers--- laundry section of supermarket.
If any colour bleeds from clothes it's absorbed by the Colour Catcher sheet.

 

[SuperMike]

What's washing ? Come to think of it, what's ironing, dusting, vacuming, cleaning in general etc etc ? ? ?

That's woman's work

About 9:30.

There was one at Cobham services but they just ripped it out to build something there. They may put it somewhere else later.

Exact same company put exact same layout in Ansião, Portugal next to the Intermarche, but it is €2, €8 and €4.

Well the way the exchange rate is going there ain't a lot of difference and would probably cost more in diesel driving over to Portugal to do yer laundry

Depends if you put colourfast sheets in
