I used to do the big "full week's" worth of washing at a laundrette and pay heaps feeding the washing machines and dryers. Guess what, after buying an efficient front-loading washing machine - that does a good job of spin-drying - I can now do 2 or 3 smaller loads each week and dry them overnight (and it might take 50% longer in the middle of winter - big deal) without needing a clothes dryer. The pay back for buying and operating the washing machine was about 4 years, the rest after that is pure savings. If people want to remain brainwashed and insist on needing a dryer because they can't see other ways of doing things then fine, it's their money they are throwing away. -- Regards, David.
