@bodhidave @J3Words My dad and I were being tourists in Chester, UK, on a particularly showery day about 25 years ago. We had bought sandwiches for lunch and were eyeing up a bench to sit down and eat them, but discovered it was dripping wet. I pulled out a pocket handkerchief but realised it would never suffice. At that moment a motor scooter pulled up, the driver got off, produced a towel from under his saddle and dried the bench, then stowed the towel away and drove off.
