something else I have noticed over the years ....toilet paper is narrower in mainland Europe (France and Germany) than the UK or the US , suppose its one way of saving natural resources

It's exactly the same in our house, Grego.

Yes ... that's what I was talking about: John Wayne toilet paper, "it's rough, and it's tough, and it don't take s**t from nobody."

Flicking through Argos and the loo holders have it folded to a point facing towards you. I do the same but without the folded point

I can't stand it when hotels fold the end of the lav paper into a point. How pretentious. Fancy having to do that as part of your job!

One of my little pet hates is loo roll i have to have it hanging towards you away from the wall because theres nothing worse than having to hunt round the roll for the end of the loo roll if its at the front its always at the front! I have known myself to change other peoples in there houses i thought i was the only one who was bothered about which way the loo roll went now i know people have an opinion on the subject i will leave it in future !! oops

sorry to ruin your exclusivity but mine hangs above the radiator so if I had it hanging closer to the wall it would just roll down the back of it!!

That's because there is little in life more satisfying or important than sitting on the throne with the morning paper and that first cup of coffee. It's as close to heaven as most of us will get.
