This thread is fascinating as it inadvertently on covered the spread on am Urban Myth as per the quoted example.

It appeared several times throughout the thread always attributed to a different source (TA, Marines etc)

As with any urban myth the people involved have acquired knowledge of the myth, intentionally to post an outlandish comment as their own or "I heard it from....", or have been unintentionally duped into accepting it as original idea from another source.

Either way, by its multiple appearance, the myth is unravelled as such and the original author, as with any myth, remains unknown....

Fascinating!

It had to be a myth. Otherwise, there would be a lot of people walking around with poo-finger.

I remember many a time, getting a wet behind, from forgetting to check the toilet seat when I lived at home with my parents because I think my Dad must have had a hole in the size of his willy as it always went over the seat. He never lifted it up.

Knew a plumber who got called out by the lady of the house to investigate a leaking cistern as the carpet was always wet behind the loo.

Only when he asked how many sons she had (2), did it dawn on her the reason that the carpet was sometimes wet...

Why not go one better? Geberit, and I am sure other manufacturers make a Japanese loo style seat conversion. Instead of paper a retractable shower unit washes you clean with an adjustable jet. Far more hygienic and almost certainly kinder to the environment. Basic model simply washes - while the deluxe version washes, extracts odours and blow dries. Every loo should have one.

Yeah loo roll is really un-hygienic.
At my mums house, her toilet is in a room of it's own with no sink and if someone is in the bathroom when you come out of the toilet after doing your business, you are stuck with a mucky bum, unless you remember to take in some wipes and a carrier bag to put them in.

So you walk from the loo to the bathroom with your pants down and then wash your bum in the sink?:( Why not have loo roll in there like everyone else does?

I wipe my behind in the room with the loo in, but as there is no sink, I have to pull up my pants and go and wash in the bathroom.
It is easier to take wipes in the room with the loo in though.

Top tip for the ladies - avoid wasting loo paper after a wee by simply growing a penis.

Hahahahahhahaha Now why didn't I think of that?

Three sheets. One up, one down, and one to polish - wartime slogan.

Huge kitchen rolls £3 at Tesco. Saw in half. Keep you going until Christmas...

Unperfumed baby wipes + paper = happiness.

Perfumed baby wipes... Outpatients.

Best plan? Plan ahead and have a shower or hand shower straight away. The stuff is water soluble, people! It won't stick to your hands! No paper needed, and you're as clean as a whistle. I have trained my bum to do what I want it to. I buy four rolls a year for visitors - and resent that too!

Laying a cable in office hours is OK if you take wet wipes in with you. Flatten a few rolls and put them in your briefcase to build up a buffer supply at home. It will fit with that ream of A4 copier you nick every week.

Dropping the kids off at the pool? Please take a good shower before visiting swimming pools. I don't care because I refuse to swim in water where the great unwashed go to have a jolly good clean up, and probably a whizz too, anyway. Girls... I'm specially looking at you. Make your kids realise pools aren't there to clean yer bum in.

Jeez, what's the matter with some people?

I'm now worried how much I have to contribute to this discussion.

Budget

When I was a small boy MANY years ago, the "see-through" toilet paper was called "Bronco". We used it as tracing paper as well as for its proper use.

PS - I haven't posted on this site for years and am now both retired and debt-free. Can anyone advise me how to eliminate the icons, smileys, etc. at the bottom of this post? Thanks!
