		The first launderette, called a washetaria, was opened in Fort Worth, Texas in 1934; they were introduced in London by the Bendix company in 1949.
		The appeal of launderettes was due to the new, sophisticated machines that could wash, rinse, and spin in a single automatic operation.
		Launderettes with additional features, such as tumble-driers, have become common services in every town.

		The camera introduces other users of the launderette: a pair of brothers in red reversed baseball caps who are restless and inquisitive in this functional adult domain; their mother, wearily attentive to her sons' movements and to the washing to be overseen and tended.
		In Launderette Nick Kamen is given an audience of giggling girls, marking him as heterosexual, mediating his image, and giving the male viewer an opportunity to enjoy the 'invert's striptease' from a heterosexual perspective, imagining he is viewing the male body through the girl's eyes...
		Significantly, this was not the end of the story and the two earliest campaign, namely 'Bath' and 'Launderette', were blatantly sexual, as barely clad and glamorous young men were caught in the act of getting their jeans body-clinging wet or unbuttoning them oh-so-slowly in the launderette.

		In the UK, My Beautiful Launderette opened to the most lavish set of rave reviews to come out of Britain since A Passage to India, and the fact that it has a gay love affair at the centre of its action (ground-breaking in 1986) did not deter audiences for a single moment.
		Launderette talked about class, race, sex, ambition, business, and contemporary life in England, swinging a wrecker's ball at the shaky moral edifice of Mrs.
		He turns the place into a raving, kitsch hit with the help of his friend Johnny, a sensitive punk who is trying to break away from the gang of hooligans he's been running around with and start a new life.

	The Telegraph - Calcutta : Metro
		The second launderette in the country (another one in Bangalore), this service, a take-off from the west, not just cleans your dirty linen by the kilo in 24 hours flat, but also picks up and drops the clothes back at your doorstep.
		It began as an exercise to cover residential complexes within one kilometre radius, but word of mouth has now ensured that working couples from across the city drop their laundry at IFB before heading for work in the morning and pick it up the next day.
		While the convenience provided to the customer remains the main concern, the added advantage of having a launderette in a locality is that it saves a large amount of water too.

	BBC - Manchester - Features - Surf’s up at the life laundry
		The idea of an Internet launderette where you can surf as you spin is a pretty revolutionary one, but imagine taking it one step further and making it the first port of call for any questions the local community has.
		Having acquired the launderette, with help from the Manchester Methodist Housing Group who bought the building and paid for the refurbishments, a visit to a fast food restaurant motivated Jane to add the world wide twist.
		The decision move the offices to the launderette from the community centre came after the association realised there were problems of access for the public.

	2001 Proceedings of the RRCWL (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		This was most visibly crystallized in the response of one student who signed up for a class presentation but would not watch the film because of its "glamorization of sin." This view, he clarified later, came from a religious view of sinful homosexuality.
		Omar and Johnny mix work and pleasure, and it is in the context of, what Sukhdev Sandu calls, their "lusty refitting" of the launderette that we must understand the film’s intervention not only in the compartmentalization of work and pleasure, but also that between private and public sphere.
		Not only did the student response relegate the love of Omar and Johnny to the putatively private sphere, their relationship to the wider public sphere was measured in terms of a bourgeois definition of love.

	ALL ABOUT ROMANCE (novels) reviews Lucy's Launderette by Betsy Burke
		Lucy's Launderette is a Chick Lit novel that seems to wander around with no real sense of where it wants to go.
		Once Lucy steps into the launderette, however, the pace picks up and the plot seems to drive in a more straighforward direction.
		Despite the fact that it deals with mental illness, death, and other heavy subjects, Lucy's Launderette isn't quite as deep as you might think and is actually very funny in spots.

		This film portrays some Pakistanis as having faults, hence it is the center of controversy, but it probably gives a realistic picture of what one extended family in London's Pakistani community might be like.
		Pakistanis are picketing the theaters that show the film, claiming that it portrays an unfair portrait of their countrymen.
		Well, MY BEAUTIFUL LAUNDERETTE is a comedy/drama about a young Pakistani who is caring for his ailing father and who goes to work for his uncle, Saeed Jaffrey.

	Edinburgh Festivals - Lesbian Launderette (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		THE publicity for this Oxford student production says that Lesbian Launderette "was originally a joke".
		I hate to be the one to break it to them, but it still is. It looks as if the creators were aiming for Return to the Forbidden Planet but took a tragically wrong turn and ended up in a parallel universe where weakly contrived, derivative, indulgent, frequently tone-deaf horrors like this are considered entertaining.
		This kind of Lesbian Launderette would turn kd lang straight.

		What I intended, was to give a feeling of repetition and the cyclical nature of poverty.
		Launderette's (or their absence in a neighbourhood) are very indicative of levels of affluence, and this is what I wanted to convey in the poem.
		I did not know about the launderette's as away of "measuring" affluence but still the poem gave a feeling of emptiness, like those paintings.

	NPR : 'My Beautiful Laundrette'
		As an impressionable teenager in 1985, I was dazzled by the film's cool and knowing appraisal of polymorphous Londoners -- hoodlums, punks, dealers, gays, dreamers -- with uncontainable hearts and irresistibly grimy glamour.
		My Beautiful Launderette opens an entire world, deftly exposing its hidden connections and breaking points via the trials faced by Omar and Johnny, but also through the dramas of their neighbors, family and friends.
		My Beautiful Launderette was originally filmed on 16-milimeter film for British television, and it transfers nicely to DVD.
