The Retirement Thread

[welsh dragon]

I find that the fluffy quilted toilet roll doesn't go as far as the normal stuff.

So, back to the normal stuff for me.

We certainly know how to have some in depth world changing discussions on this thread.

Just as well, you don't get as many sheets per roll
180 sheets
Cushelle 2-ply tissue.
Average 180 sheets per roll. Average sheet size 118mm x 104.5 mm.

Andrex Toilet Rolls 2-Ply
200 Sheets
Soft and thick 2-ply toilet tissue.
200 sheets per roll.

Where on earth do you get information like that

Not quite. I do remember that horrible Izal stuff though.

.......and the hard, red carbolic soap

I had to use a lovely big green leaf on my early morning run! Didn't feel the need before I went out, but after a coffee and a couple of miles of jiggling up and down.......well you know how it is!

When my late Father in Law was a Japanese PoW, they were given 7 sheets of Izal type bog paper each, to last a week. ie. 1 a day.
Considering that most of the guys had dysentery, and other horrible stuff, the paper was viewed as yet another insult to their humanity.
Nobody used it for its intended purpose; but used it as note paper or cigarette paper. Some saved it up and bartered it, with one or two of the friendlier Japanese guards, for other more useful stuff.

Returning to the loo roll discussion I buy based on cost per sheet. Aldi at 8.3p is my favourite though protests from other members of my household I've had to upgrade to Softest at 14p/sheet.........I know how to treat a girl. 🙂

I find last weeks Liverpool echo far cheaper.
I buy super soft for me but the echo for MrsD

Good morning mature persons. It appears to be grey and dull outside, difficult to tell through the curtains as Mrs P is sleeping and I have to sit very quietly in a chair!!! 😀

Good walk yesterday through wind, rain, sunshine and showers. Lunch was on top of the rather exposed Latrigg Fell. In places long stretches of the riverside footpath had been washed away in the 2015 floods forcing us up a much more precarious route, trees down in other places. A great fun day out.

Shared four different curries last night at an excellent Indian. Our first night out since February.

If you weigh the toilet rolls instead of counting the number of sheets per roll ( the size of each individual sheet may vary between brands ) you'll get a true reflection of value in pence per gramme.
Then you can simply keep a pair of scissors handy to cut to the exact length required instead of wasting money 😉
