When I was a young child in Kensington (in the late 50s, early 60s), on my Nanny's day off, my mother used to give me a treat - take me to the local launderette to watch the washing go round; this kept me entertained for hours. As our family's washing was sent to a laundry, being able to take washing to a launderette seemed wonderfully exotic. When I now use a launderette on holiday, I try to recapture that childhood sense of wonder, sadly, I must confess, unsuccessfully!
