Just seen this on the news.
I seem to remember UK ran out of loo paper way back 60s/70s or was that just my house?
My mum had to buy the most awful beige coloured stuff which was like newspaper.

They will need to use the daily papers torn into squares like we did in the 1960s

Ah so wasn't just my house then.
Why was there no loo paper in the 60's does anyone remember?
I remember having to queue for bread at Safeway for hours with my mum. That was the 60's too.

There was the shiny stuff you got in school. It was like wiping your bum with greaseproof paper....it just slid off.
I think my family must eat loo paper. It goes so quickly it's unnatural.
I really don't know what they do with it....well I do but why so much.
I would like to enforce a three square rule

3 squares only works for certain things though.
Eldest granddaughter blocked our loo last time she was here with about 50% of a roll. Think I may have to enforce that rule too when they arrive in a weeks time.

I have to use ASDA cheapy T/R or my septic tank, or the pipes to it, block. No fancy soft stuff I'm afraid. Can't even use Morrison's or TESCO cheap!!!!
Think the newspaper T/R in the 60s was just fact soft stuff was dear so people tore up newspaper.
People were a lot poorer then.

DD stopped buying a certain make after it started its ad for scrunching or folding.
She was appalled by the campaign.

Scrunching and folding??
That horrible shiny paper we had at school was called Izal. I can smell it still just thinking about it..

Paper cuts? Whoever thought that Izal would be effective? Must have blocked pipes like no other. I certainly don't remember putting it anywhere else.

Izal won't have blocked pipes - it did disintegrate when it got wet!! No good for anything except using as tracing paper, but my Grandma insisted on buying it - took years to persuade her soft toilet paper is hygenic!!!
