What kind of hotels do YOU stay in? It's true that, in winter, I've
encountered down comforters (with changeable covers), in which case they
may not use a top sheet, but aside from that..... (Out of curiosity, if
you find European customs so far inferior to those in the U.S., why do
you bother to travel there?)

Because duvet covers are washable.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.

What is a top sheet?


From the phrase to "slip between the sheets" suggests there's one
sheet above and one sheet below

She asked a simple question, why the negativism? It was intelligently
answered by William Black.
Evelyn, most of your posts are so critical and on the attack...are you that
unhappy?

The thing on the bed that looks like a marshmallow is a duvet. If you
unfold it you can sleep under it.
