Loo Roll - what's the point in 'luxury' toilet paper?!?

Actually, I also like to wipe the seat with, say, six or seven sheets, and then carefully place these at the base of the toilet in order to avoid splashback. In this way, I am looking at perhaps 25-30 sheets per tom-tit.

I don't think my loo could handle that much paper! It's old and prone to occasional blockages, and it's not unusual to have to flush 2 or 3 times to get rid of a really big poo.
I don't consider using cheap loo roll to be an entirely false economy: I might use about 2/3 of the number of sheets if it's posh toilet paper, but the posh stuff is about 3 times the price, meaning that it still works out about twice as expensive per toilet visit. Some cheap kinds have a tendency to fall apart, though. As much as I hate evil Tesco, I'll admit that Tesco Value loo roll is probably the best of the cheapo kinds. Morrisons cheapo bum paper is a bit rubbish, so I try to avoid it.

Kiss goodbye to your grapes with Anusol (TM).

Doesn't help me, I'm afraid. The one I have is hidden inside quite high up (discovered during a colonoscopy) - I'd need a bicycle pump to reach it! It's only really a problem if I get constipated, and then it gushes blood.
