    I remember as a child, my stepfather tried to impose a loo roll limit. Never did without. Always holidays abroad, outings, ice cream van , chip shop van, pocket money, etc, but....dust clouds would appear when his wallet opened, tight bless him. He also tried to impose a two sheet limit.

    Only found out recently my sisters used to do the same as me after that, and spend hours wasting loo roll, by unrolling sheets, and sheets at a time. Was my little bit of rebelliousness. Cost far more in the end, than would have done otherwise!:D
    Oh well...

    I'm all for the post-defecation shower but not wiping first? He's probably the type to pee in the shower as well. I would not wish to share his bathroom facilities.

    It could be worse, lets hope it isn't just a pee he has in the shower.

    I think I'll stick to buying plenty of loo roll :)

    Having said that, we do have a posh type of loo that showers you and dries you after you've....errrrmmmm.... 'been'. The downstairs bathroom was added to help me cope with my son's disabilities. He is doubly incontinent, and when he has a bowel movement, it can be rather messy to clean. If I sit him on the toilet, he can press a pad which then makes a pipe extend outwards and shower him with clean, warm water. When he lets go of the pad, the toilet automatically flushes everything away and warm air dries his bits and pieces :p
    We also have a loo that does this! In our daughters shower room she is disabled.

    In lots of countries people wash with a jug of water when on the loo. My in-laws never buy loo roll! Much cleaner all round once you get used to it.
    But to discuss this with a compete stranger? NOOOOOO!
