mick miller Posted March 7, 2020 Report Share Posted March 7, 2020 The rush, nay, total loss of all sense over loo roll. If I'm correct, covid-19 can lead, at the worst, to a case of pneumonia, quite concerning for the elderly, infirm or anyone with underlying respiratory issues. I haven't read anything about a complete and total collapse of your 'aris, loss of bowel control or a dose of the screaming habdabs. What the hell am I missing here? For me, should there be a complete societal shutdown, bog roll is number 201 of my list of concerns or needs, for everyone else it appears that an uninterrupted number one, is number one.

Yep, you can always go continental and wash your rusty sheriff's badge with the shower. No loo roll, no problem! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mick miller Posted March 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2020 I'm genuinely befuddled, at all three supermarkets locally, loo roll sells out as soon as it hits the shelves. I've often thought the majority of people are full of ****, this seems to prove the theory. Anyone reading this and sitting on four dozen rolls of Andrex, have a word with yourself.

Mr.C Posted March 7, 2020 Report Share Posted March 7, 2020 I think it may be down to the self isolation for 2 weeks and running out rather than a dose of the screaming trots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are not alone ! Our local Sainsbury`s were totally sold out yesterday, clear shelves, not a loo roll of any description in sight. The girl on the check out told my good lady that people were buying 10 packs at a time; in the large packs there are 10 rolls !!!! I mean who wants or needs 100 rolls I can understand someone buying a few tinned steak & tiddly pies or other tinned goods to avoid the weekly scrummage, but 100 loo rolls defies belief. Unless there is a very dodgy curry complaint doing the rounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mass purchase of bog roll world wide has gone viral quicker than the actual virus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VicW Posted March 7, 2020 Report Share Posted March 7, 2020 When I was in the Military in the early sixties the bog roll had 'Government Property, written on every sheet.

loriusgarrulus Posted March 7, 2020 Report Share Posted March 7, 2020 Be like the Roman's and use a sponge on a stick. Only in Roman times it was communal in the public toilets. 🤢 You could get one of those washing up sponge on sticks. Just don't get the one with the green scourer on unless you are tough. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retsdon Posted March 7, 2020 Report Share Posted March 7, 2020 If I moved back to the UK one of the first things I'd do would be to plumb in one of those squirter guns next to the toilet. And why? Well, if your dog crapped on the mat, would you wash the mat properly, or scrape the dog's mess off it with a handful of paper and call it a day? I'm a complete convert to water these days and loathe paper with a passion. A) it hurts, and b) it's always so hit or miss. A horribly unhygienic business....

figgy Posted March 7, 2020 Report Share Posted March 7, 2020 I think if you did have ring price collapso with Coronavirus, the last thing you would want is mountains of toilet roll. I'd want a nice cold hose pipe to clean and south my sore ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
