Hey up Jam, this is a serious topic, ignore the rest, when I moved into this house no bog roll holder.

It was the first thing I bought and because it didn't have a back plate I hung it with the paper away from the wall, however, (as you may know), I got a kitten, because of this my toilet roll now sits on the window sill because that darn cat has found out it can unravel toilet roll all over the bathroom!

Of course it was a serious discussion. Some people have strong views on which way round the loo roll should be. Much in the same way as the differences of opinion about toilet seats – up or down.

It’s just that I knew some people would react in the way they did, especially if it was I who started the thread.

Actually I don’t care if people take my posts or topics seriously. They have that choice. What I do care about is sensible responses without all the back biting, back slapping and topic drifting that goes on.

However it does go to show that it is OK for some people to wind up others but when I do it, it is wrong.

A tad hypocritical perhaps?

In hotels the roll is hung with the next piece AWAY from the wall and
FOLDED TO A POINT

Now we are getting somewhere.

Surely hotels will follow etiquette so the right way seems to be away from the wall.

But folded to a point? I can’t see the point of that, or rather I don’t want to go down that road.

Well I don't care about etiquette my will stay the way it is. Silly I know but it is one of my little fobiles.

I guess I did not give the question the serious consideration that it so rightly deserves. What concerns me more is whether people crack their boiled eggs at the big end or the little end. But back on topic with a question: do public bogs in England still have the John Wayne toilet paper, or is it softer now, and not as shiny?

I think I'll come back to AccyWeb when it stops being a place where people to try to score points off each other and then pretend they weren't.

I like the loo roll away from the wall, if my other half or daughter change it they always put it close to the wall and I always change it back, dont know why but cant stand it the other way, just off to straighten my towels

You are quite correct Margaret , hotels do do this, think they do it away from the wall so guests can tear it easily and not waste too much, but the folding is just for presentation.

'Tis a serious question and one been asked many times, presume also by the manufacturers, after all difficult to ask how you use it,etc., isn't it ?..

As for me .. well, mine is on the floor at the moment. last holder dropped off .. mainly due to son and mates leaning on it to balance, whilst other hand was probably busy holding something else. I have bought a new one, at great expense, but has not been attached to tiles as yet, as do not know how to screw into tiles. New shower riser rail still waiting to be put up for same reason If it were up, would put next to wall, as looks neater.

[BERNADETTE]

Kate you need to drill through the tiles wuth a masinary drill and put plastic plugs in for you bathroom accessories.

Oops excuse bad spelling!!!
