Blue & White Striped Towels?????

Having recently been to the local swimming baths in the Forres/Elgin area, I can,t help but notice all these fancy larger than life blue and white striped towels being used and was wondering where to get hold of them? My wife thinks they would go well with our carpets, deckchairs etc. Can anyone help?

Number Cruncher,
I can only presume you was really drunk when you decided to write to Debenhams-on-line and accidently sent the billy-do to Pprune Military Aircrew.
Please don't tell me you really have H Ms wings on yer chest. I may choke over the breakfast I'm eating whilst sat on a really attractive suit that we bought after much searching for exactly the right fabrics from our local designer outlet.

Ooh no, Number Cruncheur sweetie, blue and white? I mean, dear, that's just so last week. What sir really should be thinking of is bleached primrose with highlights of eau-de-nil...??

Oh dear! To avoid a future strewn with towel banter, I'd come back under another name mate.

Number Cruncher,

I believe that they were 'donated', to our brave boys and girls by a well know hotel chain somewhere hot and sandy.

Flak Jacket is indeed correct, said items have been borrowed from a large multi-national hotel group with some interest's in the Gulf region. The hotel however has been assured that no UK military personnel would stoop to pilfering such garish items.
