Who remembers those Izal shiny paper toilet rolls? We used to have them in the school bogs.

Ah , the scratch and slide special.

 

The trick was to ruffle it up then smooth it back out before use , this also works with , news of the world , daily mail , the sun , the telegraph , but not the very shiny radio times or anglers mail.

showing my age now, we had those at home when I was a kid, two sided, rough side first then the smooth side 'to polish'

 

funniest thread for quite a while

We didn't, communal bog in the middle of a cobbled and dirt yard with squares of newspaper hanging off an old nail. Bog door had big gaps top and bottom ................ let the flies out I suppose :lol:

 

I go in the Black Country Museum and see houses the same as I used to live in :hmm:

Newspaper cut in to squares and a piece of string threaded through the corner and hung up worked ok only you would end up with a black *** from the ink that they used. :sad1: :sad1: :sad1:

I for one really appreciate that you've taken the time to pass on this info and have forwarded it to an elderly relative.

The elderly relative would be grateful it someone could also forward her the instructions on how to suck eggs.

.....that tracing paper

Very handy when you had homework to finish, and had lost the tiny piece of tracing paper provided by the teacher (no duplicators or photocopiers in schools in the 1950s).

 

At college there was the luxury of soft tissue, until admin realised we were using vast quantities to mop up oil (engineering students, with leaky old cars and motorbikes). They changed over to the shiny stuff, which nearly caused a riot. We promised to be good in future, and they let us have soft stuff again.

I recall an old engine driver taking a dump in the back of his Railway overcoat cos he hadn't flipped it away from the danger zone. The coat was unceremoniously thrown out of the bog window. (There was little health and safety then) ;)

Now ... if there were instructions on waders telling you to be extremely careful when taking a **** on the marsh ... that would have been helpful.

 

Finishing, pulling your shoulder strap round, and realising it was laying 'in the danger zone' is a mistake you only make once :whistling:

That's similar to when you were a young man, and the young lady you were taking home suddenly decided she needed a wee. Pull in layby, she runs in woods and is crouched down with one hand on a tree for balance. When the fresh air reacts with the alcohol the hand on the tree slips :yes: and down she goes, right into the puddle on her big fat butt :lol::lol::lol:

 

How can you not collapse laughing when that happens, but they don't see the funny side at all :no:

 

 

:lol: :lol: :lol:

I heard about the mech that got caught short and off loaded into the back of his overalls in the layby hedge. When he came out he had, had to get his penknife out and cut around the waist and discard the top half. when he got back to the van he got a length of wire and made some slits in the waist bit to thread the wire through to make a belt with to hold them up. He went to the store with a story of how the overalls got caught up on a machine and ripped and he had, had to cut the damaged bit off.
