FHSoc - there is no confusion it seems to me (and perhaps to many other users of this site). It was a mistake to retain the launderette there, and in its current dilapidated state. I do hope I don't detect in your second paragraph a hint of inverted snobbery as well. Something along the lines of 'all these middle class NIMBY's complaining about the launderette when they've all got their dyson washing machines in their utility rooms'.
