Your comment was just as flippant, boss. And totally ignored that most dry cleaners are not only dry cleaners and offer laundry services (I've not seen one round here that doesn't). Of course dry cleaning a suit is not a priority, but again I don't believe that is the point of the exemption. Your sideways dig (whether intended that way or not) at those who might use those services because you don't appreciate their importance, speaks of your ignorance and privilege.

Get off your high horse. You seem to be intent on making this some kind of class war when I said nothing about launderettes so obviously I understand why people would use one.
To get this back on track, the rules are sufficiently vague that you could make anything out of them. The UK government needs to be clearer about what they mean but it's easier to produce a list without any refinement than actually be precise. Where I live, "pure play" dry cleaners are shut, launderettes are open, anyone who does both is open too (for now).

Jesus, who pissed in your cornflakes.
I wasn't making any comment about launderettes for that reason; and a dry cleaner with a service wash is a launderette to a certain extent. I just find the idea that dry cleaning is essential peculiar and no amount of chippy commenting is likely to change that.
