I think people are scared to run out of such a necessity but guess what............we’ve run out!!!!!! I don’t believe it! (quoting Victor Meldrew). Xxxx
Well well but, did the police get to the bottom of the mystery or was it all flushed away?
Sorry to hear that Sassy, in our area we have some telephone numbers to contact who will deliver if they have any and you are in isolation for what ever reason. Take care both xx
Has my punning backfired on me katieoxo or am I missing something here?
I was just having a joke with Cateran Katie but thank you for replying. We have loo roll and are doing well.
Hope you’re ok. Stay safe xxxx
During the war we cut up old newspapers into squares, made a hole in one corner and threaded a piece of string through, made a loop and hung it near the loo. Not the biggest problem we faced!
I wouldn't think that it was a problem you faced, lyd12, but rather somewhere else?
I was eleven when the war ended, so remember it well, and shortages went on for a long time after the end of the war. Cuttng up papers was a job for the children, and the papers were hung on a nail in the outside loo. Love Iris x
Hello, there was a warning put out not to put anything but toilet paper down the loo as it would block up and you might have problems getting a plumber out. Oh how things have changed since the war. Take care x

They didn't have flush toilets in Iris's day. 😉

Now I remember there being communal toilets and wash houses , no flush just sling a bucket of water down. Heres a tip for nowadays use waste tank additive for camping toilets that will dissolve the paper what ever type 
and no flushing.
in reply to katieoxo60
Actually the fluid used in camping toilets does not dissolve even ordinary toilet paper very well. Many camping site have septic tanks and are very particular what you put in them. Look what you sparked off now Cateran 🤣

Glad to see everyone is still in a jovial mood to spi te the seriousness of all this. I guess you may be right about toilet chemicals . What do all these people want so many toilet rolls for or are they buying for whole street ???????????????

Perhaps they are going to take the place of money, shops don't want cash any more.

Oh Don, I am hanging my head in shame (not down the lavvy pan though I might risk it in the bidet) at what I quite innocently started, but it was all just an extended pun.
Lyd12 in reply to
We did at home Don but not when we spent some time in Berkshire as a rest from the bombs. We shared a newly builtCouncil house with some relatives which had a bathroom, unusable, and an outside loo which was emptied periodically by the man of the house, who dug various holes in the garden to bury the waste, where our vegetables were grown, covered in caterpillars I might add!
Everywhere I've lived we've had a septic tank, as does my brother's house where I'm staying now, so I've got used to not putting anything down the toilet.
Fascinating conversation 😁
in reply to Lyd12
We were still doing it in the 1950s Iris. Almost as bad were Izal rolls. Now we're spoiled with cushion, quilted and even aloe Vera. 😳
Lyd12 in reply to
Ha, Izal! Shiny and stiff, worse than newspaper!
I started work in early 1950s and clearly remember sweet rationing ending and thinking I could just walk in the sweet shop every day and buy. a Sixpenny bar of chocolate! Happy days!
Just watched a YouTube video about ancient Egyptians and to dry themselves they used their hands! That would work if you washed your hands afterwards 😁 x
See my reply to 2greys above, I am beginning to loop the loop and caught up in my own spoof.
Not all people use toilet paper , what about showering our lower parts or wet wipes like for babies or a flannel and wash it after. Thats my serious mind working overtime . I haven't lost the plot yet either . Have fun
You have come to my rescue katie. Now I think a visit to the thunder box is on the agenda! With a stock of pages of The Daily Wail suitable hooked within clutching distance...
he he he x
Thank you cateran . You have given me an abundance of laughs .i am full admiration forall the punning ability shown. More please
Thank you Jaybird for the kind compliment. Give me a while to get back to you on scatological, things while I have a sit and ponder (I did say sit didn't I?) Must keep my puns within the bounds of decency!
The Big Issue is what my dog regularly leaves on the lawn.
Im no good at puns but do enjoy hearing them. That was great yesterday. Your dog obviously has the same opinion as me about certain actions lately.
Number nine very funny but nine isnt anywhere enough to express my feelings!
Carry on punning .,! Please.
Carry on Punning. I like it Jaybird...that was a great comedy series. So, here goes the continuation them: Carry On Up the U-Bend. Carry on Public Convenience ( or should that be Carry On Cottaging? ) kind of risky that one so apologies in anticipation of Carry On Matron you Naughty Boy.
"Òooh you are naughty but i like it"
I read that there were two carry on films on BBC sat but didnt give date . ??this sat. I missed all the carry on films somehow . Must have been otherwise occupied !
I watched a hancock half hour this week but it was made using original voices , very odd. I thought it was radio ptogramme only.
I won the lottery yesterday! Well, not exactly. But I DID get 9 toilet rolls delivered. Woohoo!! xx Moy
