    The thread is quiet just now so I thought I'd share this with you.

    Love the comment about microwaving pants :rotfl::rotfl:


    Around a year ago I was chatting to a senior 'cabin crew' girl from a well known airline that we met on holiday. We were talking about how we often had to book an overnight airport hotel if we were flying from Gatwick or Heathrow - she warned me NEVER to use the kettle in the rooms of airport hotels and said that some female cabin staff would boil wash their knickers in the kettles and dry them overnight when they were on stopovers !

    A bluddy good reason for sticking to a bedtime brandy rather than a coffee !

    My mum always used to iron pants. I now know why. :rotfl:

    :rotfl: surely the best way to remove 'lady stains' is plain cold water?!

    Jelly- can you recommend any other sites to win eBay auctions at the last minute aside from Bidnip? I've used up all my free snipes now. Good website that!

    Zippy didn't you recommend a site before? Many thanks.
