to think loo paper is what it's called

[HepzibahHumbug]

AIBU to think asking a 5 year old to say toilet tissue is a horrible genteelism?

It's loo paper, and you flush it down a loo.

Also, has anyone else noticed how dusty it is?

Is the summer kitchen open air, Soy?

I have 2 kitchens and an upstairs alcove that’s been fitted out as a functioning pantry with a sink and fridge etc so anyone staying can have something substantial to eat and drink anytime they like.

Two kitchens are normal where I live.

Seriously anyone who judges someone else for saying toilet or loo, really is not worth knowing.

It’s semi open air TheGrey1houndSpeaks. It has 3 walls and a roof, but is open fronted.

that’s a good point about the ‘cooker’. we have an Aga in the rear kitchen - i’ll ask the housekeeper what she calls it.

(shit tickets though - i’m having that)

oh, and for those who have been vulgar enough to talk about mortgages. don’t be so common. i’m not mortgage-free - i’m on benefits and spunking your income tax on leather sofas and a great big telly.

We don’t have a cooker-we have a range. Big Rangemaster thing with 6 burners, grill, 2 ovens and warming drawer. I suppose some might call that a cooker? But its aways been the range to us.

Old house had an aga and a separate oven and hob, we turned the aga off in summer as too hot in the house. That’s pretty normal in cottages! Just the one kitchen though!

We still have loos, but they have toilet roll in them. Jury out on how common this makes us. Although according to my boss as I have a horse and a double belfast sink this by default makes us “posh” (definitely not).

horse-ownership only renders you posh if your kitchen is filthy. like, sticky and muddy and greasy and grim.

otherwise? you just have a horse.

I’ve got one of those... but we still call it the cooker!

Having horses doesn’t make you remotely posh. All the tinkers have them.

Lol @exWifebeginsat40
I don’t clean and we have 3 cats and very free range hens that come in as they please so it does get pretty grim. There are currently mouse remains on it as the cats have been busy (vom). But we have a weekly cleaner so the filth is kept down. So can’t be posh-phew!

@TheGrey1houndSpeaks
Tinkers have cobs. They are not horses!

Bog roll or bum fodder

That level of squalor does actually sound quite upper class, Megan .

Bog roll here too. We are very classy.

Good point!

Come on most people who have horses in England are posh. Different in Ireland.

Different in Ireland?

In Ireland you have working class young men with horses grazing on public land.
Generally horse owners in England either own land their horse grazes on, or stable their horses. That is not cheap.

Forget her kitchen and bathroom, you should see Cherry's bedroom.

Toilet tissue/paper

Toilet roll

Very Parisian in style I believe, BringMeTea!

Loo roll, bog roll, toilet tissue, shitter paper, The Sun.

All the same.

I call it toilet roll. Yet I had a two year old tell me it was big roll the other day.
