I think every British child (or person who has ever been a child in Britain) has, at some point, had a tea towel made in school where everyone draws a picture of their own face or somesuch, and then the parents pay to get one. Odd really isn't it to use a depiction of your own child's face to mop up spillages and remove excess moisture from pans. | |

| Nov 24, 2014 at 20:20 | comment | added | Simd | This is the kind of question that needs images. For the US readers, these are (fancy) tea towels a la British johnlewis.com/home-garden/kitchen/kitchen-linens/tea-towels/… and this is a commemorative tea towel jarrold.co.uk/UserData/root/Images/Basement/milly%20green/… . It's quite plausible that Americans just don't have them. Maybe more Americans have dish washerS? | |
