        Luxury! We had that 'orrible Bronco stuff. It was quite good as tracing paper if I remember correctly.

        The Civil service had a campaign sometime in the 1970s to replace Bronco with soft bog roll, citing incidents of the hard stuff cutting botties.

          I vaguely remember our school having some rubbish by "Izal". It was particularly "slidey" and not in the least bit absorbent. I expect all it did was spread the crap around rather than removing any of it. Made the newspaper seem upmarket!

            I can't wander down the loo roll aisle in Tesco without buying the 3 free extra offer making up 12 rolls.

            So now I have a 4 foot high wall of Andrex (sans puppies that's just sick), between the tulipter and the shower. Is this acceptable?
            Won't they get damp there? Mr C stores his loo roll bogofs in a corner of the bedroom.

                Ah yes, the "John Wayne" bog paper - It's rough, and it's tough, and it takes no sh*t off anyone.

                    Izal was indeed another brand which exhibited those characteristics. They also had a distinct disinfectant smell.
