Are the beds laid in the order so you can make apple-turnovers? For those of you who don't understand my unreliable slang, a apple-turnover (I think that's what they are called, not sure why) is where the sheets are re-arranged so they look exactly like what they should but when somebody goes to sleep in them they can't get into it and they have to pull all the sheets off and make the bed again before they sleep in it :lol:.

I heard that they have duvets at lymphstone now, might b wrong though :-? So you wouldnt be able to do it with a duvet.

:roll: The word "Admin" has multiple uses depending on what context it is used in, for instance

"sorting out my pube admin" means i need to trim or shave my honking pubes.

It can also could relate to squaring away a vortex in your grot, your kit , bergan or paper work, basicly sorting something out and getting things in order.
