Bro, I am just a Texas red neck, but this post was awesome to read. I have no idea what a tea towel is, but if you ever move to Provo Utah USA let me know because I dig your style.
Sincerely,

A tea towel is known more commonly in the US as a hand towel. (I had a look it up one time so the only reason I know what it is)
