My eternal quest for shoe dye continues... I thought a launderettes would be an ideal place for finding shoe dye, but sadly not. I popped in here primarily to ask about whether they had any in stock - which they didn't. Obviously this was disappointing, but it gave me a chance to look round.
They're doing a good job here - washing, ironing, repairs, alterations - even free advice, it seems. As I went in, the lady at the counter was giving a lot of helpful advice to a gentleman who was very concerned about a silk shirt of his. It seems that he hadn't even used their services, but was just after some advice, which was happily given. They also imparted lots of advice to me as to where to pick up shoe dye, and, along the theme of general helpful information, have sort of local noticeboard in their shop, which I thought was a nice, civic-minded touch.
If I have any further clothing-related needs, I shall visit Ulverlie Washe again. They know their stuff. read more
