I tried to find out for you but no success sorry
It must be a Pommy thing ( English )

where do you shop? i've heard really expensive ones called linen, but manchester? isn't that a town, we call 'em sheets or bed-sheets if you want to get southern.

We never call it manchester here. lt's just linen or bed sheets and sometimes blanket.

Did you get this question out of the Herald Sun paper? Cause it was in there a couple of days ago.
