Oh, you're so young, and probably urban! When I was growing up on a farm in south central upstate New York from 1944-1965, laundry was always hung out unless it was raining stair rods. In winter it "freeze-dried", and required some...

Winner.
A thriller movie based on a play and taking place in Wales with Peter Sallis, Peter Vaughan and Fiona Walker. Saw it show up on Classic British Telly from the You Tube thingy. I've not seen it yet, but from the Wiki page it seems to... -

For my money, Whitby beats Scarborough. I'll take climbing the 199 steps over riding the funicular. And there are some work-arounds for those who are less mobile. The tour bus starts from down in the town and drives up to the Abbey...
