LOO ROLLS are one of the many indispensable things we all take for granted in the UK in the 21st Century ! So like Lemmings we panic buy when a Tragedy Strikes. Some big Families use more than a Roll per day - so a 12 pack is only a weeks suppiy. My Granny tells me that in WWII (1939 - 45) they cut up the Liverpool Echo and used that as Bum Fodder ! So unwittingly you went round with a picture of Adolf on yer Bum ! Toilet Paper was the numero uno Covid Commodity and we were rationed to TWO ROLLS per person per trip ! Personal HYGIENE *Lavarse las Manos !* became the Mantra so a ready supply of TP became obligatory. In a crisis the most mundane things gain ascendancy. Don*t panic and cut up the Daily Mail - best use for it ! Love to all ~ Angela - Brian & Smokey Cat !

Haha -- you phrased this unseen necessity so well and yes every newspaper at one time was cut up and neatly hung behind a lavvy door -my Gran told me such stories of back then - ha - hope we are still able to get the posh cushioned ones though - - much bloomin softer.........
BRIAN HERE ~ Thanks for your comment FAY ! My Granny said the RADIO TIMES was best and you only had to tear it three times. Angela says the TP seems very rough & flimsy these days !
Blessings & Peace & Joy
Love ~ Brian & Angela & Smokey !
There was a joke on FaceBook a few days ago, the year was 2050 and a guy was sitting on the toilet with a toilet roll in his hand saying "Well this is it, the last toilet roll from 2020"
