    Of course the dry cleaner won't reimburse you for it.

    Our local dry cleaner charges £10 to dry clean a 13.5 tog king size duvet.

    ASDA sell a new one for £9.55 :)

    Was it only me that sensed the hint of sarcasm in the OP's posts???
    If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands

    Must be. I mistook it for stupidity.
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.

    If I make a special trip to the dry cleaners am I within my rights to deduct travel costs and a bridge toll?

    Yes, if I am within my rights to send you a bill for wasting my time reading such a stupid wind-up thread.

    Erm, No. It's not their fault you won't be working near there anymore, and it's not their fault you don't carry cash.

    They won't. Why should they?

    Next time put it in the washing machine.

    Of course, and don't forget to charge them depreciation for your car, a charge for the extra wear of your tyres, and of course an hourly rate for your time.

    I suspect the dry cleaners will end up giving you money.

    That will teach them.
