The great debate

Something a little more light hearted than the usual debates/rants



In my house it's A (not through choice) as I believe B to be the correct way!

B, obviously. Though others in this household bafflingly seem to apply a random approach.

b too, but if top layer is overhanging top layer [ 2 ply], then roll back top layer all the way round and then both layers of paper will be the same length.
Can't believe I just posted that, but no one in my old family home ever got it

B for me
No doubt.

But there are several articles about this choice, many psicologist studied this debate.

must be the OCD kicking in !

B.

Else the insoucient flick of the wrist that separates the desired sheets from the roll causes the knuckles to rap painfully against the wall.

B obviously too - especially where the roll is mounted over your shoulder - it's just easier to reach

B. A is absurd.

Always B - winds me up a treat when Wifey deploys 'A' to the point that I will reverse it to 'B' - she never notices.....

C ; http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/6b/Vertical_Toilet_Roll_Holder.jpg

So far it's an unanimous vote.

Il be showing this to the other half later.

But I suspect it will make no difference what'so ever!

That's where the back up roll is stored. You don't dispense from that, Shirley?

B.

On the hole it's all the same...

No other way but B!

Even the grandkids have been trained to do this

Just need to teach them how to NOT use near enough a whole roll each time they go for a No 2

B every time, every roll, and I check and change where necessary.

Meritorious and less-stretched B

What do we think of toilet roll holders mounted sideways (usually in public toilets, etc), that use large toilet rolls - should the toilet roll be placed so it's facing forwards or backwards (towards the door or the wall behind you) ?

I personally feel it should face forwards, towards the door, but any thoughts on this situation?

you really do need to get out more often Theresa !!

Towards the door, but I try and avoid public toilets and usually make a toilet paper seat if nature calls.

Sit down wee's, I like to treat myself

Definitely B but my wife insists on A which annoys me too!

seems to be a trend here, men like it on view, women prefer it hidden round the back !

That surprises me really, as it's generally women (no offence, etc meant) that clean the bathroom, etc, so I would have thought most would be like me and obviously you men would have preferred B, as no/less muck , fingermarks, etc., would be on the wall behind the toilet roll holder.

T - MUCK? Finger marks? I don't like what you're suggesting gets spread on the walls near improperly set up TP!

You haven't seen the walls in the mens toilets where I work. I need jabs just to go in there.

B

.....choose the grater number

What about option C = IZAL!

It fed from the middle so no A or B debate required.

Back in the days when I was at sea, shiny toilet paper much like Izal with the words "Property of the Board of Trade" printed on every sheet was the standard issue.

It was great for writing airmail letters on according to a couple of Swedish harbour pilots.

I remember Izal, we used to have it in our outside loo!

B is correct unless you have an Andrex puppy and you *don't* want to roll it all back on when the little blighter pulls it all off and wraps it around everything..in that case A is clearly the only solution.

And I trust that after doing the deed, we all fold over two corners to make a nice neat point for the next user?

Sounds like the same stuff my gran used to have on the farm where I used to spend my summer holidays as a kid. It was like using grease proof baking paper. Completely unabsorbent, but very strong. And very cheap. Essentially useless for the task in hand......

You're doing it wrong!

The left hand of darkness.

You are Ursula K LeGuin, and I claim my five pounds.

It has been said there are more people using their right hand when cleaning their behind than left handers. In saying that most do indeed use toilet paper..

Left or right -handed though?

I'm happy to except either direction when mounted like this.

Haha this changes things. Take my money

Group buy

That's what she said.

Actress to the Bishop

It's still upside down.

So B is more hygenic however A looks better

A in our house

Joe's version is for the Aussies!

Just saying

Joe it seems you've had too much sh1t time on your hands

Shit yes, time no

This was emailed to me this morning from an owner over seas, he'd seen this thread ages ago and read I'd had an input, the picture reminded him of this thread so as we were talking work related stuff he attached it on his email
