[OSM-talk] [RFC] shop = laundromat

Gervase Markham <gerv-gmane at gerv.net>:
>In the UK, these are normally laundrys or laundrettes. (I'm not sure of
 
>the distinction.) I've not seen the term laundromat used.

Quite right.  I would say a laundry is a facility to which the public don't have access, which washes clothes on behalf of others.

 Edoardo Marascalchi:

>Landromat means something to me in a natural way, where laundrettes
 not.

But exactly the opposite for me.  Either the tag should mention both, or in the UK it should be different to what it says in other places.  Don't you remember "My beautiful Landrette"? ;-)
