Peculiarities - loo roll

[dexterdoglancashire]

Nick! you've found me out! OH would disagree though! DDL which newspaper do you prefer?

[nick the grief]

The Times of course I especially look forward to finding a foto of our beloved Prime inister or the Chancellor so I can get my own back

[Lesley Jay]

Oh Nick you shouldn't!

[dexterdoglancashire]

Big belly laughs Nick! never thought of that before! tee hee! DDL

OK - boys and girls - quote from Mr OH "Sheets backwards or forewards, does it really matter? if the roll hasn't been started, and you are stood facing the loo, needing to find the start of the roll, isn't that the issue? if you put the roll on then find the start - its that simple!" nothing more frustrating than a glued up roll!" well - any comments? Mrs OH DDL

Sometimes, the loo roll gets placed on the tank - how's a girl supposed to reach round to grab it while sat on the loo?

When you get to the end of it, the inners can be composted or used as degradeable pots.

It's when you eventually do get the thing unglued but the sheets are not lined up. Instead of a full compliment of sheets you get one and a half!! You then have to do the whole separate the sheets and unwind one half and so on and so forth! At least we can flush ours though, you go to Cyprus and you can't even flush it down the loo! Aaaarrrgggghhhhhhh!

[Palustris]

Now there is a way to solve that one Monkey, without undoing the whole roll.
Believe it or not Alan whatsisface Tichbum showed how to do it on one of his makeover progs. BUT how to describe what to do in words is beyond even my talents, I would have to come round and show you.

[Earthbabe]

Just as I always suspected - common as muck, me!
Next you'll be telling me I'm sposed to take me wellies off before I get in the bath

I was always told to take them off before I walk in the house. Have I been doing it wrong?

Mr DDL has a point. It is annoying and somehow it's always me that has to do the whole ungluing thing and then go far enough back that you can have a whole sheet not one in ribbons and find a way to line the pieces up. Grrr!!!

At least Mr E cleans the bath and sink.

[Palustris]

I will try. You hang the roll where the perforations on the two sheets do not match on the holder with the longer piece at the front. You take that longer pice and leave the other one where it is. You then push the long peice down the back of the roll until it hangs down behind the short piece. This usually brings the perforations together.

[multiveg]

If you have trouble starting off a roll, try another and use the one to grow mushrooms on!

[lyndap]

Always knew I was 'common'.Def hang at front.If accidently hung to back,I manage to pull to hard and unroll half the loo roll.(my better half says its because I'm cack handed-left handed for people who dont know what he means!)Although what that has to do with anything I dont know.

[dexterdoglancashire]

I'm keeping my OH updated with the poll results - he being a fully paid up member of the "hang it from the front" brigade. He can't believe that hanging it from the back is in the lead! DDL

[HappyMouffe]

Lyndap, I'm another 'hang it from the front' and am also cack-handed - you could be onto something. Then again, I'm probably just common
