Where's me washboard?...


Things have thankfully moved on since the days when all laundry was hand washed and mangled. Nowadays most of us have washing machines and tumble driers. But for those of us who don't there's Bubbles Laundrette on Quarry Hill and even if you do then there's always your duvets or maybe that particularly dirty sports kit. I don't know perhaps it's your turn to wash the team's rugby kit this week. Here's owner Claire Orme (the lady scrubbing away in the picture) and her washer man getting in the Days Gone By spirit of the carnival last weekend. Thanks for sending in the pics Claire; as you know Tonbridge Blog is a sucker for a good publicity stunt....

Thankfully the 'Days Gone By' was only for the afternoon as the washboard and mangle were pretty hard work!
