Has anyone else been caught out by the closure of this launderette? It is the one in the row of shops including the chippie, hairdresser and kebab shop. I left a bag of laundry in for a service wash as usual, wasn't able to get back for it for a bit over a week or so (a normal occurence) and found the place closed with a notice in the window saying thanks for your custom, we have retired. I am assuming my bag of laundry is still inside. There were a couple of notes pushed through the letter-box with phone numbers on them and requests that the note-writer be contacted to be able to reclaim his/her laundry - so it seems I am not alone. Does anyone have any further experience or knowledge about this unsatisfactory state of affairs?
I hope they enjoy their retirement and you get your clothes back. Anyone looking for another place to take their laundry look no further than His Lordship's on the Lane opposite Moxons. I've been using them for years and the service and quality of their work is always excellent and the staff very friendly.(tu)
I meant 'comments' - not 'concepts' in above post. You may be glad to hear, however, that my underwear and I are now re-united and I even tipped the old dear the princely sum of one English pound to start her retirement on a note of devil-may-care affluence.

    • I was talking to my brother in the law last weekend who works for a different water company. He said he and his colleagues watch TW’s woes with a mixed of horror, disbelief and then relief that they work for a different water company. Worth a watch. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m00284vt
    • But Thatcher is dead. Nobody since has brought the utilities back under public ownership (if that's the right term). So there are many people who could be blamed. Meanwhile the shareholders get richer and everyone else gets increasing bills and a poorer service. Plus as said above, a massive waste of a limited resource like water. Not to mention the polluted rivers and seas. At least the privatisation of the railways is being reversed. Hopefully water may be on the list somewhere.
    • That's really helpful. Do the Community Councils still exist? It sounds to me that whoever the contact is on the council who has sorted out the North Cross Road notice board and put the new list of councillors in it must at least have access to the key for that one? Unless it was one of the unlocked ones. And of course if somebody knows where the keys are, they may have no idea that people are looking for them or that this forum thread exists. Which are the notice boards which are not locked?  The very helpful locksmith near the station (?Callows?)  might be able to provide keys for them, or if not, new locks, in return for some local publicity? In fact, they may be able to advise in general, rather than keep trying unresponsive people at the council. But then of course there is still the question of who is going to take responsibility for putting appropriate East Dulwich community information into them and updating it as necessary.
    • Our residents' association used to have keys many moons ago, but when locks were changed, we tried everyone (including ward councillors) to get keys to no avail. A couple of boards are not locked. The Community Councils originally paid for all the notice boards in Dulwich. May have come under the Cleaner Greener budget.
