Can you imagine having to use that stuff if you have piles

emzy loo rolls like Izal were the ordinary loo rolls in those days, there were no such thing as soft toilet tissue in the fifties and early sixties. The factory where my mum worked closed in the sixties because they couldn't compete with the firms making solf toilet tissue, it would have cost to much to upgrade their machinery at the time

When I was given the job of managing Melbourne House building maintenace, I inherited 10 years supply of the stuff stored in the cellar.

A mysterious cellar flood, that no one else witnessed, damaged the whole stock overnight

I then had Kleenex soft tissue dispensers installed and thereby gained the overwhelming support of the staff for any further changes.

One of the cleaning staff actually preferred it to the soft stuff, so I was saved from surruptitiously disposing of it.

Perhaps it's because our birthdays are only 2 days apart and it's due to
astrological factors
