  • I'm afraid I don't know

    but loads more than you. My aunt shall be bringing me a new set from Norway in March, I shall then hold a towel audit.

  • About 6-8 bath large towels

    and 4 or so hand towels.

    Do you want to know about bath mats or is that for another thread?

    mymiddlenameaintthor | 22 Jan '10, 10:56 | X
    • I forgot the one in the back of my car that I use as a rag.

      mymiddlenameaintthor @mymiddlenameaintthor | 22 Jan '10, 11:00 | X
    • Just make sure you specify that they're bathmats and not part of the towel total

      Lucien @mymiddlenameaintthor | 22 Jan '10, 11:00 | X
      • Appendix B is showing two bathmats

  • You personally own 25 towels?

    Lucien @TheBeautifulOnes | 22 Jan '10, 10:58 | X
    • Aha

      The question is really how many you personally own, if you were turfed out of your flat/parent's house/fridge box tomorrow

      Lucien @TheBeautifulOnes | 22 Jan '10, 11:13 | X
      • Same number as you

        DanielKelly | 22 Jan '10, 11:00 | X
      • oooh upwards of thirty odd probably. I'm not in charge of towels though,

        thats the wifes job. I do bins and stuff.

      • Wait, you have a hand-sized towel?

        That's a small towel. Are you sure it's not a flannel?

        mymiddlenameaintthor | 22 Jan '10, 11:02 | X
        • Bigger than a flannel, smaller than a towel

          And on second thoughts I have 2 of them, not 1.

          Lucien @mymiddlenameaintthor | 22 Jan '10, 11:04 | X
          • Is it a handtowel?

            A towel for hands?

            mymiddlenameaintthor @Lucien | 22 Jan '10, 11:05 | X
            • One is definitely a hand towel

              the other one is bigger than that, would be perfect for drying off children

                • that would make it a bath towel

                  the towels we poshos use are actually called bath sheets

                    • they are the name of the towels you use

                      we name things, in language, so we can differentiate it from other things when the thing is not in physical presence. language has, as i am sure you know, other uses. BATH SHEETS MANG.

                  TRSTN | 22 Jan '10, 11:36 | X
                • i dunno

                  maybe the following between mrs ccb and i: 4 large bath towels, maybe 4 "bathtowels" that are ok for guests but a bit small; three or four hand-towels; about half a dozen tea towels.

                  colon_closed_bracket | 22 Jan '10, 11:37 | X
                • 2

                  plus i technically own the hand towels for our house, as no one else ever bothers to buy anything, but that's a different story.

                  • what is this bath sheet nonsense?

                    I dry myself on a beach towel that reads "PINA COLADA!!" in a handwritten-style font and has a picture of two chimps doing the tango on it

                    • it is what it is

                      a bath towel is a smaller sized towel and one, i wager, would not effectively wrap around your waist. a bath sheet is a larger towel for grown ups. one that you can wrap around the self with ample towelage to spare.

                          It's ridiculous. Might replace it with one of these "bath sheets"

                  (as I discovered whilst trying to move last week). I really need to throw some out, amnd probably buy some more. I'm addicted to the fluffiness of the pelt of a new towel. mmmm.

                      Travel towel does not equal towel, soz.

                  I have two of those. One for good and one for post shower drying purposes.

                • Towel-related, mildly (kind of) amusing story.

                  We went to Benicassim in the summer, got to Manchester airport to check-in, no problems until the last of us puts his bag on the scales and is ridiculously over the weight limit.

                  We all look at him because we were massively under the limit and he just looks puzzled. We ask him what he's got in his bag, to which he replies 'Nothing! The same as all you lot. Oh, wait. I have got these 4 wet towels, and proceeds to pull out a carrier bag full of towels that he didn't have time to dry.

                  We tell him to leave the towels, and stop being such a fucking idiot.

                  He still gets called Tommy four-towels. Why on earth would you take 4 towels on a week-long holiday?

                • I have loads

                  But I only ever use one. I use it over and over until either the girlfriend complains or I can no longer bear to dry myself in the overpowering stench of my own arse and wash it
