- ... that in the 1960s one could have tea and toast served to your changing room at the Carlisle Turkish baths in England? Source: "Her mother, Freda, 88, remembers coming to the baths in the 1960s when attendants gave massages, and would deliver tea and toast to bathers cooling down in the cubicles" from: Pidd, Helen (2 October 2022).

- ALT1: ... that the 2022 closure of Carlisle Turkish baths left only 11 operational in the UK, out of around 700 built? Source: "The first Turkish baths in Britain and Ireland opened in 1852 in County Cork and, over the course of the next century, about 700 were built. Only 12 remain in operation, nine of which are public, and Carlisle’s are the last in the north-west of England." (NB: article was before Carlisle's closure) from: the same source as above

Served to vs Served in vs Delivered to?
editHey, @Dumelow, is this BrEng? In AmEng we'd generally use either 'served in' or maybe 'delivered to'. I've never heard food/drink being served to a place. Valereee (talk) 18:34, 21 March 2023 (UTC)
- Hi Valereee. Maybe, it's certainly common to see "served to your room", for example for room service. Perhaps there's a dialect neutral way of putting it? - Dumelow (talk) 18:57, 21 March 2023 (UTC)
- I think I'm fine with it. Just wanted to make sure there hadn't been an introduced typo and that there were others it didn't sound unusual to. Valereee (talk) 19:01, 21 March 2023 (UTC)
