Right. For the record, we use tescos own brand luxury (Basically, the cheapest except for horrible budget that doesn't work and runs out in a second.) I fold, and use both sides. OH bundles and uses one side only.Official Debt Free Wannabe Nerd Club member 095! Debt Now:

Just scratched you to pieces. It would be more effective making wayward teenagers use it than threatening them with an ASBO.
I've heard others on this thread talking about Izal, and assumed that was the really nasty school stuff. So it's Bronco, is it? Kind of laminated, rather than absorbant...just smears everything around rather than cleans it up?0 -

It was Bronco at school and Izal Medicated at home- if you were lucky.:eek:I am NOT, nor do I profess to be, a Qualified Debt Adviser. I have made MANY mistakes and have OFTEN been the unwitting victim of the the shamefull tactics of the Financial Industry.

Brilliant link, :beer: :j :j brought tears to my eyes again, but this time in a different way.
Remember hearing that Bronco used to supply British Rail and that when they stopped using it the company went bust or stopped making it. Don't know if its true but if it is BR were the saviour of many a young schoolchilds backside. Just not soon enough for me though :mad:0 -
This thread has given me the best laugh I've had in ages.:rotfl:

I needed the loo at Cairo Airport (old Terminal). The gents are downstairs and look as though they were designed by some Victorian 'Marble Hall' architect, with everything but comfort in mind. The 'cubicles' do not contain toilet roll holders, but you are 'issued' with 4 sheets of second world war issue paper by an enterprising gentleman on payment of two Egyptian pounds'
God how luxurious your Tesco Value Bog roll seems after a dose of Egyptian Tummy:eek: :eek: :eek:I am NOT, nor do I profess to be, a Qualified Debt Adviser. I have made MANY mistakes and have OFTEN been the unwitting victim of the the shamefull tactics of the Financial Industry.

I had the Cairo experience too! A very polite woman took a Cypriot pound and then gave me two sheets. I had stomach flu and nearly cried. It was only when someone explained they have built in bidets, and you only need two sheets to dry off that I understood.
And I can tell you, those warm water bidets rock. So much more hygenic and soothing to wash than wipe! Especially after the sixth time.....
Sorry, way too much info.....Some days, it's just not worth chewing through the leather straps....
