What is a tea towel?

[@warriorbard]

@@llp7261 It's a type of kitchen cloth usually made of linen or cotton used for drying dishes or mopping up tables and surfaces. It dates back to about the 18th century where they were used to keep tea pots warm and cover up baked goods. Now it's pretty much a British household staple and they come in awesome designs. They make great souvenirs and I actually hang some of them up as posters.

Yes it will hold value. Unless Brexit fucks us in the ass and the value o the pound drops again. But then even if the queens face was on it, it would of dropped all the same.
