So which way round is the 'nice' way round for loo roll to be hanging. And *why* is it remotely important?

[fullmoonfiend]

Just wondered after a heated debate (!) with Fil, who was in the army you know, and seemed quite put out that anyone would be so ignorant as to not know the correct way for loo-paper (or as I wanted to say 'convenience stationary') to hang.

So, at the risk of exposing myself as a complete pleb, please dear genteel Good Housekeepers, enlighten me?

It needs to come over the top IYKWIM

It is VERY important. It should hang from the front, not down the back.

I change it if its on wrong - at home, work, friends' houses, public loos....seriously.

It isn't at all important.

Anyone who thinks so is trying entirely too hard, in a Hyacinth Bouquet type of way. In fact anyone who even notices which way it is hanging is slightly dodgy, IMO

Thus decrees princesspeahead.

AND YOU MUST FOLD THE END INTO A NEAT LITTLE TRIANGLE

oops sorry about caps

I change it too, if it's wrong

cross posted with all the irredeemably bourgoise posters

Why is it important?
(FIL also has been known to fold the edge over nicely )

me and my mate swap each others.... i have mine (over) she has hers (under) i cant help myself when i visit..........she does the same..... not that it matters..xx really

What do they do at Buckingham Palace? That should answer the question pretty definatively.

Ours doesn't even hang

(It sits on the floor on a wooden kitchen roll holder)

The Royals are irretrievably bourgeois I believe?

My towels also have to be folded a certain way

Cheaper and more bohemian to use newspaper actually

Can be folder into airoplane or basic hat shape
any origami stuff is a bit de trop but welcome anyway into the mix.

Pedant!! Quick, a word in your ear...

Just talk amongst yourselves, people, there's nothing to see here!!!

mousie - and there's always something to read if you're in there a while

Minds on the windowsill next to the no frills bleach and the vosene

(Jan mine sit on the radiator or on top of the loo cistern.... 5 loos and no holder)

I just think it's whatever you're used to. Nothing worse than going to the loo in the middle of the night, unable to find the end of the loo roll and cursing enough to wake the rest of the house.

5 loos, pph? How do you make sure they've all even got paper all the time? I struggle with 2 (mostly because it nevernevernever occurs to anybody else to replace when they've used the last bit )

oh for pity's sake

do people have too much time on their hands?

has to hang ove the top

always change the wrong ones

hang over top, and fold into point.

Pedant and tutter, me too

I really just can't help myself!!

to be honest, the roll gets used before its even hung up

Good catch FMF!

It is absolutely right and proper to have the end of the roll hanging down at the front of the toilet roll and not the back.
