Loo Rolls

There isn’t a right way or a wrong way to hang loo rolls, just your way.

I prefer mine so that the drop paper is nearest the wall.

I have a tiny washroom 5 ft wide and 7ft 6 inches long and even that has a 2ft 6 inches by 3 ft chunk cut out in one corner, that incorporates a shower, sink, toilet and radiator so there ain’t a great deal of room. I’m pretty sure that you couldn’t swing a cat around inside. Not that I would ever dream of doing such a thing.

If the loo roll were hung the other way so that the drop paper was furthest away from the wall it would be too easy to end up with a pile of loo paper on the floor as I catch it with my arm or something and it all unrolls.

So the burning question of the day is, what’s your preferred way – close to the wall or furthest away from it?

JB where the hell do you get these from? where you thinking 'oh i'll make a thread about loo rolls' whilst on the toilet? what utter crap
 
Xmas crackers? OK! Not Xmas crackers then.

I woke up this morning with the thought in my head. Don’t ask me where it came from though.:rolleyes:

Many profound thoughts come while one is on the flush. And why else does one take the seat of ease unless it is to utter crap?:D

next time you get a thought like this JB please keep it where it belongs.....in your head
 
I hang my loo rolls same as you JB drop nearest wall. If anyone hangs them the opposite way I change them round.

I’m sorry that my topics do not meet with your approval. I wasn’t aware that I had to check with you before starting a thread to see if it meets with your requirements.

You will have to visualise this but my gesture would tell you that I can still draw a long bow with either hand.

Now do you possibly think that you could get back to the topic? I was trying to open a debate on domestic etiquette as it pertains to the humble loo roll.

Even though I stated earlier “There isn’t a right way or a wrong way to hang loo rolls, just your way.” I don’t think that that is correct. No doubt Mrs Bucket (pronounced bouquet) would know. I’ve got a vague idea (in full broad daylight this time) that there is a right way and a wrong way. Further more my way is the wrong way, I think.

Thank you for your ‘on topic’ response. It is good to know that there are some people who know how to post on a forum.
 
Our loo roll holder sticks out at a right angle to the wall so ours goes on entirely differently. I don't bother about which way it rolls, whichever way it goes on first is how it stays.
 
Well done flashytart, Eric and Aleks, you have just proved conclusively that some people, if given the opportunity, will dive in and take a puerile dig with scant regard to the topic.

You were deliberately given the opportunity.

Now where’s the other two.

So, it wasn't a discussion topic after all? Just bating people were you? How can you expect people to take your posts seriously after that? How silly of me to take your topic at face value, memo to self not to do that in future.

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 :rolleyes:

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.
