straighteners, no problem, hairdryer, depends on what wattage it is.
6Amps equates to approx 1400W, so if its a dual heat, you would be ok on the lower setting, possibly not on the highest (the wifes hairdryer is 1200W on high, so would be OK)
to work out what you can use, take your amps (in this case 6) and multiply by 230 (UK voltage)
if its pushing it, make sure you turn your heating, hot water etc off before using them.

Probably - just make sure you have nothing else on when you do use your dryer(no you don't have to do it naked - just no other electricals!)
If you do overload it all you need do is reset your trip switch. Simples!
(you can do it naked if you want of course.

we turn all off when the hairdryer is required to prevent overload. ------------- the only silly question is the one you do not ask.

There may be hairdriers or sockets in the shower block if the site has them.
If you trip the hook up you may not be able to reset it, as the panel is usually locked-cue disgruntled warden!
Towels don't use electrickery!!!
