I wouldn’t sit down in an English restaurant and ask for am extra napkin.

So what would you ask for if you wanted to wipe some gravy from your chin?

Regards,

“In England, the word ‘napkin’ is typically used to describe a feminine hygiene product (sanitary napkin). Although most people are aware of the double usage of the word, in London, the word ‘serviette’ is preferred in a restaurant or eating establishment.”
