One-ply loo paper - who on earth invented it? I am also at a loss to explain why there is a brand (decent 2-ply) called "Quilted Northern". Quilted, I get, but Northern? Why would loo paper be either Northern or Southern? Congrats on the 300th post. I have indeed added you to my Bloglines feeds. I think it was IZOL MEDICATED.

Why is it the restaurants, and public places, have the worst toilet tissue ? At home, we use the "Charmin", at least it's got some "umph". My grandaughter visited England with me some years ago. We spent one day at Conway Castle. When she used the "facilities" there, she had taken some of the shiny, hard toilet paper, as a souvenir, ( the kind we used to have in school), she thought it must have been there as long as the castle since she had never seen paper like that ! Congratulations by the way, on your 300th post ! I’m with you on this one….

And, if I remember rightly, it was IZOL. The stinky, scratchy stuff. Anyway, I was going to post on this but I seem to have a bit of a reputation for toilet-related content, so I'll just say it here. You know the toilet paper is bad when there's an ad currently running about toilet paper that doesn't rip and stick to your bum. They've managed to make it unrevolting because it's the ad with the big cuddly bears. Charmin perhaps? But next time you see it, think about it. Ugh! Congrats on 300.

Takes me back to my young days in the 50s in New Zealand when my grandads Saturday night task was to tear into squares the week's newspaper for use in the loo for the next week. The only problem was that if you found something really interesting to read it was quite likely someone had already used the bit that came next. Margaret What a chuckle, haha.
