3 Squares of Izal - A scraper, a wiper and a polisher!

An uncannily accurate description!

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!

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

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

You can't have enough loo roll right?

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.

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.

Nahhhh!!!!!! When you grew up using old newspapers, a bit of recycled stuff seems like silk sheets!!

I insist upon the cheap as chips stuff from LIDLs personally. Cannot see the point in spending any decent amount of cash on something that gets used to wipe one's butt!!
If I am going to push the boat out for household articles then it goes on decent Malt Whisky.

mmmmm it's loooxury

there was an article on the *cough* daily *cough* mail the other day about the poor middle-classes who can't afford the basics anymore because of gordon's downturn, one woman said she had to choose between loo roll and toothpaste.

i would have though toothpaste would sting!
