Subject: RE: BS: more Australian words
One I heard last night from Cloudstreet.

Manchester is used as a generic term for things like bedsheets, pillows, and towels.
You go into a department store, and the sign may say "Manchester upstairs".

I'd not heard of this before, is it used anywhere in the UK?
