Unfortunately on the whole I prefer soft bobbly cotton ones. I use them mainly when I'm cooking and messing around in the kitchen because almost everything that needs washing goes in the dishwasher. <br /><br />I'm fascinated as to how he discovered and chose you for such a review.Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3132582821010486689.post-41493614459947815072016-01-06T17:21:21.111+00:002016-01-06T17:21:21.111+00:00Neither have I, DT.

Each one seems to mean something, especially the ones I have bought from the men just out of prison who sell things door to door and also the one you sent me, Frances, when I won your limerick competition a few years ago. It is much-loved and therefore one of the worn, holey brigade that seem to work the best. xxxJoannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10346863303904973315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3132582821010486689.post-82107310793202229432016-01-06T08:35:15.440+00:002016-01-06T08:35:15.440+00:00From my aunts in Yorkshire, I have three tea towel...From my aunts in Yorkshire, I have three tea towels with Yorkshire themes printed on.
