Actually Jim the agitator with the wooden legs was called a dolly where I'm from ... the posser was the copper ended device for pumping the washing rather than spinning it. But different areas called them different things. Rog

The script should have gone like this:
Henchman: What shall I do with the money? Evil Boss: Launder it. Henchman: I set 'em up...a-cha-cha...

Don't forget to look out for the new launderette facility outside the petrol station at Weedon when you pass, dogless. You don't even need change or detergent.

Excellent thanks for the heads up metanoiaShould have mentioned that the outdoor laundry facilities operated by Revolution (I think the company is called) outside Morrisons supermarket canalside at Leamington have been expanded ... double the amount of washers and dryers. Rog

Washed in a 9kg machine with detergent and conditioner (optional) for £7.50
Dried for 30 mins for £7 (but could have done 15mins for £3.50)
All washed and bone dry and had a lovely strong coffee in the Crossroads during the wash, and did a Tesco shop during the dry.
Very convenient ... not the cheapest but job done.
We've certainly been in worse launderettes (Osney and Kidsgrove to name two).
8/10

Launderette at Stony Stratford is still in business and open 7 days a week too.
It's a thirty minute walk from the canal but on a good day it's a jolly pleasant walk on a made-up Riverside path.
