Toilet Roll Argument

Thefunkygibbons

Have we had the do you fold or scrunch debate?

Does that make it last longer

and do you use both sides :rotfl:

Anastacia

Got to be ASDA shades. Any crappier (!) and you use loads as it all falls to bits. Any posher and its a waste of money. What about a blind testing ??? and dont get me started on those awful dutch/belgian loo rolls, like little sheets of waffle. My kids get through a roll a go with that stuff!!

Same with washing power. The real cheap stuff just doesnt have enough woof to it ( unless we are particularly dirty>). It smells fresh enough for the first few weeks & then it starts to smell like it isnt washed at all. Even teenagers notice and ask if its been washed.

Value beans (they were mentioned in there somewhere, honest) are just a tin of red juice with the odd lump in them compared with heinz beans. They may be cheaper but you need a fair few tins to get your actually bean numbers to compare !

I am mean with everything, i really am, but some things are false economy.

being in full MSE mode - we have had an abundance at work so yes youve guessed it I use that!

I used to buy soft tissues to blow my nose on at work but every other bug*er kept using them so now I take a trip to the loo and take a roll to use in the dept. Its just that I also take onw for me to use at home. Its really soft and free!! So far I have 6 rolls at home.

Aaahh - bless my bum

I have to admit we have 2 sorts in the cupboard.
Sainburys 1 step up from the cheapest & Andrex (for whn OH has a colitis attack)

Could never use the fancy brand as the loo already needs 2 flushes to get rid of 2 sheets.

I had to resort to keeping the loo rolls under lock & key at the last place I worked because so much of it was "walking"!

And I have worked at a place where there were no rolls in the loos - you were issued with your own!

Well there are approx 20 ladies loos for me to go to - and 1 roll every 3/4 days.

I once saw a program that showed how the army lads can make do with one PIECE of loo paper.
Assuming they didn't have a curry the night before...

I used to market research and had to give out rolls of toilet paper for people to try - then phone back for opinions!!!!!! OH used to sit next to me & listen - was better than Morecambe & Wise!!!:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

(Persoanlly I preferred asking men to try jeans on and then gauging the fit round the 'seat' )

Confession time - when I first got a house with 2 loos I used to buy 2 different colours at the same time so people would look in my trolley & know I had 2 loos...... Please don't tell anyone.

And keep the middle piece you rip out to clean your fingernail when you've finished.Lol

Anybody remember the Bronco toilet paper from school. God that toughened me up. It was like thick tracing paper. We used to call it John Wayne paper cos it 'took no sh$t off anybody'. Just scratched you to pieces. It would be more effective making wayward teenagers use it than threatening them with an ASBO.
