            The Romans had a sponge on the end of a stick. That's why you shouldn't get hold of the wrong end of the stick.

              @Kandy , yep I have one of those, its on a stick so I can reach my back with it easy.

              anyway, still, there is no face clothes in hotels in Scotland. and sounds like the UK also.

                @redstar the facecloths have probably been stolen by previous holiday makers:scratch:

                As far as I am aware they are never provided in hotels B&B's etc probably due to hygiene reasons and as we holiday in our caravan we take everything with us anyway,apart from the kitchen sink that is:biggrin:

                  They always have them in the hotels, guest houses and B&B's that I go to :noidea: :). They also have the usual sign up (similar all over the world) about trying to help the environment.

                  My face towel/flannel goes on the floor every day :blue thumb: and gets replaced by a nice, clean, fluffy one :dbgrtmb:

                  Two years ago I was in a hotel (Holiday Inn) in Birmingham and there wasn't a face towel so I phoned reception about it and had one delivered to my room within 15 minutes.

                  At home I use two when I have a shower. One for me and one for cleaning the shower. I also use one of these (which they don't have in hotels :)).

                    We stayed in a Holiday Inn, Birmingham. Sugar Hill or something like that. I thought it was going to be closer to the Christmas Market than it actually was.

                    Is there a Christmas Market forum? It would be an interesting discussion point.

                      What's Christmas? :snorky:

                      I've seen some things in the shops mentioning it so it must be very soon.

                        And, if I had known that prior to me flying out I would have packed some, but through all my checking and etc. it never came up in info seen. Of course did not dawn on me to think such a primitive need would not be available. Next time, I can go to a local store and buy some "cheap" ones, leaving them there as I go to the next hotel or B&B.
