Just don't get the one with the green scourer on unless you are tough. 👍 Great minds. Beat me to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PLENTY in tesco Naw it blocks the loo (like Cushelle), and it's over absorbent, anyone whose finger has gone through the paper will know.

Davyo Posted March 8, 2020 Report Share Posted March 8, 2020 Those with teenage boys go through tons of bog roll.Specially when you've had a go at them about using socks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClemFandango Posted March 8, 2020 Report Share Posted March 8, 2020 Socks are reusable though. You just have to wash them when you get to carpet surfboard stage. Think of the planet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enfieldspares Posted March 8, 2020 Report Share Posted March 8, 2020 (edited) Actually at any time of year bulk buying bog roll if you can store it makes sense. As it makes sense to bulk buy most anything that doesn't perish, doesn't rust and doesn't "go off". But what does happen is the price as with most things does go up.

loriusgarrulus Posted March 8, 2020 Report Share Posted March 8, 2020 One snag if you store your bulk buy toilet rolls in the shed. If the shed is not mouse proof you will just be providing soft nesting material for mice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy 01 Posted March 9, 2020 Report Share Posted March 9, 2020 The logic to this is simple, one person sneezes, and 100 people **** themselves. Hence the need for so much loo roll :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.... There is a UK comedian, Chris Ramsay, who talks about this very thing. His argument is if you got poo on your arm would you be content to wipe it off with a bit of dry paper and be happy it was clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or the Ikea catalogue, if you’re posh 😁 Good idea. Its glossy paper. You could rinse it a few times and reuse it before it fell to bits. 😂👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
