Over or under ?

Posted by: TOBYJUG on 23 November 2017

Tiolet rolls ! Some have evidence that the perforations were designed so that the sheet separates when the roll runs over. Some have theories that the weight of a full roll lends more to run under.

How do you fellow rollers run ?

Ultimately depends on the toilet roll holder. I have seen some that when rolled over, the weight of the roll can cause rips from something sticking out. Used under this is not a fissure tissue issue.

Gah! - expensive exotic products and dispensers. Torn up bits of The Daily Mail on a loop of string have been doing an admirable job (!) here for some time.

Nice to find something for which the publication is useful.

Anyone else here old enough to remember Izal greaseproof paper on a roll at school? Fit for 'smearing' only.

I'll get me coat.

Back in the ‘80s, I joined the pre-privatisation British Telecom. In the HQ building I worked in, we had soft loo roll, I was amazed to go to an exchange and find that they had the grease proof paper, each sheet marked property of the post office. Given BT had split from the GPO some years earlier, someone had done a serious bulk buy in the past.

Quite agree - best thing to do with the Daily Mail.

As long as there's an adequate supply I couldn't care less which side it rolls.

Maybe izal was the smeary US equivalent to the old Sears Roebuck catalog? Growing up in the 60's it seemed everyone kept a Sears catalog on top of their toilet tank. If you found yourself in a pinch with the TP exhausted, it was customary to use pages from the catalog. The Sears catalog was a staple in outhouses for decades. Sadly, no longer published.
