Laundrettes

Bo Bo's Bubbles is a step up in the laundry game, with prices to match.

In Hells Kitchen we were paying 2 USD per washing load, here we are paying 5 GBP.

Location, facilities, and size much better here in Kensington, but an example of how cheap power is in the US with nuclear. It was a quarter dollar to dry for 15 mins in USA, here, a pound.

Not sure if I would want to live near a nuke plant, but the financial benefits are obvious. It is used all over the world, and the two recent disasters (Japan and Ukraine) both occurred because of a lack of maintenance. Australia leads the world on controlling and regulating industry so risk could be substantially reduced.

Speaking of nukes, they love the servo sambo here- everywhere. Glad I can participate in this aspect of English culture. Sainsbury, Tesco and Waitrose all have a few GF lines and the bread here is really good. It is mostly made with brown rice flour.

3 quid for GF sambo, OJ and a small bag of apple and pear slices. Bargano.
