Am a little late with this today but hopefully it may make the corners of your mouth twitch!
Taken from Silly Sussex by Judy Moore. A reputedly true tale told of one of the bright young things that had made his way down to Brighton for the weekend. Being in a somewhat whittled state the porter took him to what he believed was the gentleman's room. Lying on the bed was a dainty, lacy nightgown. The man put on his monocle to take a closer look and then asked the porter what it was. Tentatively the porter informed him that it was indeed a lady's nightgown at which point the gentleman leant over and put his nose to the scented folds. Turning to the porter he commanded "Take it away" and "fill it".
