When I see toilet rolls in the supermarket made from "recycled " paper it always make me laugh. :D

When I was a kid there were more houses that had the daily paper torn into pieces and hung from a nail in their outside loo. Yuk!

Very entertaining stuff that Izal, especially when folded over a comb & blown through... :D
It was useless for its intended task, but I wont go any further into that!

I never understood how there was a market for it

other than it being a sort of 'prop' for the toilet

to make it look like there was paper

Against the wall as it uses up less space.

I have meditated on the subject for some time now

and have concluded that away from the wall is the proper order of things

away from the wall as its easier to place a hand on the top and tear strips off it.....

As was mentioned in a thread a couple of weeks ago, we have experts in all sorts of things on this forum. For once, I can offer my expertise in this matter. As a cleaning supervisor (And I`m proud of it :) ) who holds nvq`s in cleaning building interiors (I kid you not) the correct way is for the roll to be facing away from the wall. In public loo`s where the large holders are on the cubicle walls, the holder should be on the left with the dangling loo roll nearest to the person sitting on the loo and not the furthest away. Believe it or not, people where I work do complain when the roll is the wrong way round. :)

Surely the last thing you want is to have your customers place a possibly damp hand on the top of the roll and have whatever's on it soak through downwards. Better to pull away from the roll downwards.

I'm off for dinner.

Re: toilet rolls
 
In a public or work place, the rolls should be in a lockable tolet roll holder, so damp hands shouldnt be touching the rest of the roll. Reason 1; Hygiene 2; to stop theft;
You`d be surprised how many rolls are stolen each week and £23 a dozen for the mini-jumbo`s, it proves expensive.

I hadn't realised the bog roll black market was so intense.
