And then some. Great result. Maybe Australian drivers will be inspired to start being a bit less homicidal towards cyclists now.

Maybe suicidal pushbike riders will stay off the roads now.

Hi. all. Wanted to find other's experience of dry cleaners in Melbourne. Currently using Brown-Gouge mainly for convenience. Called into Bancroft's in Sth. Yarra today and spoke to Dave. Say's they use very little chemical and and a lot of personal care. The hassle is it's about a 45 min. trek for me. I would probably just take my top end suits, sportcoats, because of the time factor. Does anyone have experience with them and is it worth the extra time, cost etc. Also any other recommendation's? Believe there is a place in Richmond called "Top something" and a good one in Malvern. Also notice a place in Punt Rd. called Daisy's which said H2O chemical free Dry Cleaning.

So experiences with any of these please.

I was given a trench coat yesterday, by a fried who is getting a bit long in the tooth, he bought in it Washington about twenty ago and its perfect for a Canberra winter does have zip in lining so its practical for autumn.

The question is, it only has one flap over the left breast and I am curious about this design feature. And ideas why this is the case?
