Sorry lads.

IF YOU’VE EVER been to America, you’ll know that they are mad for their paper towels.

While some bathrooms here have paper towels, us Irish prefer to dry our hands the old-fashioned way:

  • With a Dyson Airblade OR
  • With a clump of toilet paper when you get sick of waiting to use the the Dyson Airblade

The lack of paper towels in our loos has proved distressing to some Americans

“Don’t it always seem to go that you don’t know what you got till it’s gone…”

There are loads of tweets from Americans who are disgusted with our bathroom facilities.

“YOU SUCK” – Americans when they encounter ineffective hand dryers

Our lack of paper towels is regarded with a sense of wonder

“In Ireland, they don’t have paper towels in the bathrooms.”

“WHAAAAAAT?”

“And, get this, they don’t have plastic bags either.”

Although they are tickled by our use of the term “kitchen roll”

There is also a solid appreciation of our Dyson Airblades

“What was the highlight of the trip?” “The extremely efficient hand dryers.”

We try our best.
