Research has shown that nearly two million Brits only wash their towels once a year, so experts are urging people to wash them more often to avoid becoming seriously poorly

    What?

    I’m not a Brit, but I wash mine at least as often as weekly, or when it smells, whichever comes first.

      I don’t have the best sense of smell but I can’t recall my towels ever smelling. I usually wash them every 2-3 weeks or so just because.

        I have a pretty keen nose so I notice. It’s a blessing and a curse.

    Are towels supposed to bend?

      Of course, then they fold nicely.

      On a more serious note this is Mirror readers, so it’s a bit surprising they have towels at all and don’t just use leaves or pieces of bark.

      [mainly British, informal] I’ve just phoned Julie and she’s still poorly.

        Ah, thanks. So, it’s just the dot missing, not some other word.

    I am just going to pretend that this result is a consequence of people trolling on a widespread basis.
