Bedding, linen, towels etc. Still find it a bit weird personally!

It's bedlinen and bath linen, too. Actually, maybe it's even more than this? I've only made the connection with those two. Why manchester - does anyone know?

Edited to say, FoM beat me to it and answered one of my questions before I'd even asked it!

Thanks for clearing that up for me - I did a search but didn't get that far. Well you learn something new everyday.

Hehe. I started a similar thread about 18 months ago, only to be told that someone had started a similar thread not long before. I think it's something that gets asked every year!!!
