This current crisis will draw out the entrepreneurs in us. I remember Mike Osman on Capital Radio once ringing a bloke in New Addington who was advertising tubs of human manure for 50p a pot. His slogan was "Grow Your Crops With My Plops".
Living down here does have some advantages. At least you can see them cry. |

Mike Osman used to do a radio show with his brother Paul.I met Mike for the first time at Paul's house in Southampton quite a few years ago.Their mother and father were also present and we had a really enjoyable evening.Ardent Southampton supporters!

I remember, and have used on occasion, both Izal and Bronco. I also remember that neither had a core to keep the roll in shape. I was a kid at the time, and even then, I had no idea why any company would sell such a material to wipe arses. Come to think of it, I cannot think of any use for either of those products.

For those of us of a certain age with time on our hands, with the aid of a comb it made a jolly fine kazoo

I am curious as to why you specifically stated "Left hands", so perhaps you could kindly elaborate. Apropos, running water as opposed to toilet paper, I believe it was in Greece, perhaps in more than one hotel, that guests were requested not to flush the toilet paper down the pan but to place it in the bin.The thought of toilet paper left in the room after defecation did NOT fill me with any glee.I readily admit that I never considered running water! Its still the case in smaller Greek Islands , i was told that their drainage pipes were narrow .

At my ripe age one simply doesn't think of nappy sacks!

I never knew it was called Izal but remember it well from school. Wasn't very absorbant was it? We used to use it as tracing paper at Pickhurst.
