We changed to duck boards in bath and shower rooms, which get bleached each change over. Ah nooo.... ! That's just painful on the feet (assuming they're the thin slatted ones and you have stupid feet like me) and then you have the 'joy' of not being able to dry your soles at all so you leave wet fo...

I would be quite careful of saying that your guests stole your fan on a public forum. It is of course perfectly possible for them not to have noticed a fan if they had never used it. People on holiday tend not to notice things. newtimber, I did say we personally done the showround in my earlier pos...
