Re: is it really just me?

There is a chair in the laundrette, but I think most people just put their washing on, time it and go back. We all have our own key. It just seemed pretty ignorant to me to actually do that, but they're probably used to doing it.

It could be worse. When my son lived in a block of flats, someone stole his bedding from the drier. Pathetic!

Re: is it really just me?

Had a spate of thefts off our communal lines a few years ago, people's bedding and towels we began to wonder if they were selling them on ebay or something.

Its not easy living amongst them - that's for sure (If only I'd known)

Re: is it really just me?

Poor mum lived right next to their communal launderette, and though opening times for Sunday was 8am she was always disturbed about half hour earlier by someone using the larger, noisier machine, so it woke her up. The room was then locked, and mum given a key, but I think she stopped bothering to have it locked for some reason.

She thinks a carer was doing it, on an early shift.

Re: is it really just me?

Jazzi, our laundrette is apparently closed at the weekend?! I'm assuming the machines are turned off? Seems a bit ridiculous to me. I've yet to check that out.
