Re: Duvet
Thank goodness there's at least one problem I don't have - I don't even know what a duvet is, apart from French.

Re: Duvet
I spent over six years in a retirement home and had to change 37 of them each month. After the first six months it does get easier, but while doing it you tend to invent new swear words.

Re: Duvet
Remember when the deck officers and engineers went into whites and we stewards had to put the hollands on the settee's,a cover on the bottom and a cover along the backrest that was kept on by slipping the Holland under some thing that screwed down onto it to hold it.Apparently they were called hollands as Holland was known to produce some high quality linen that was used for furniture covers.Just a bit of useless trivia.
