To think there is no financial saving using single ply toilet paper?

[Dancergirl]

In public toilets.

If it's single ply I end up using loads to compensate.

So what's the point?

Single ply is a travesty as is Izal. Double or triple up definitely.

Ewww, public toilets

Absolutely agree. Just been self catering in France and the toilet paper is so rubbish we got through loads, ans we weren't even in that much.

hahaha i've always used extra to spite the cheap bastards thought this

I can't stand that stuff you get in public loos, I always use a fair old amount!

I never understood that shiney loo paper that is a bit like greaseproof paper. Why would you buy/use that? It doesn't absorb anything!

YANBU OP though it's a step above that cheese grater like stuff they used to use, that was actually cheap writing paper I'm sure.

OP you are using both sides aren't you?

Single ply loo roll breaks down in water more easily than double or triple ply. It's usually used to try to prevent/reduces blockages and is often favoured in places where loos have water conserving flushes. I agree that it's annoying though - getting enough of the stuff off the roll without it all ripping to shreds can be a right pain! That izal stuff is just weird.

OP you are using both sides aren't you?

I hope you mean refolding to use both sides, otherwise, eww.

I used to have an accountant (in the business, not the Biblical, sense!) and the loo in his office had not only thin, horrible toilet rolls, but they were in some dispenser thingie that only let you pull out two sections at a time, hardly enough for a blot. Typical bloody accountants!

I remember Izal - apparently it was the late Queen Mum's bog paper of choice. As a kid, we had an outside toilet and torn up newspapers as bum-wipes. When a modest upturn in our fortunes occurred, we traded up to Izal! Actually, the newspaper was softer and gentler on bums, if I'm honest.

We used to have 'tracing paper' type loo paper at primary school with the name of the local authority stamped on each piece (like you'd want to pinch it-you couldn't even use it to blow your nose!). It had a horrible 'sliding effect' :-(

Lweji It's a very old joke.

Arf Sallying!

Yes we had that vile tracing paper stuff. What on earth was that all about? Didn't absorb anything and was not nice on the nethers!

I bought a pack of 9 toilet rolls in Sainsburys last week and they cost £8.99. I kid you not.

Were they gold plated?

I buy a pack of 9 in Tesco for £1.99 and it's fab.

If it was nice it would get nicked.
