For busy people ............

If you are one of those bathroom visitors who are always so desperate to unravel a new toilet roll that you end up ripping the first dozen or so sheets to shreds then relief is now at hand.

After spending £3 million studying toilet tissue composition Asda have come up with a new design featuring “easy-start roll technology”.

Traditional toilet roll is so tightly bound and heavily glued that it is impossible to free the first sheet without having to tear through it.

Asda’s lavatorial scientists have invented a machine which dispenses the minimum amount of glue necessary to hold the roll together while allowing an easy tear to start the roll.

They claim it can even be started off using just one hand ……………… a boon for all of you who cannot bear to put down your cup of tea/coffee or Woman’s Weekly/FHM

However, if, like my grandfather did, you prefer to spend your evenings cutting up the Daily Mirror into hand sized sheets and threading them onto a piece of string then this amazingly expensive technological advance, and it’s corresponding higher price tag, will seem like a bum deal !


PS
I look forward to them inventing a machine that ensures there are no perforations missing !

HaHa love it. Please keep me updated on the
perforation front. I also remember the squares
of newspaper on a string. Emmax

Why not get a Bidet, those Hot, Warm and Tepid jets shear Ecstasy (Intense delight) F.

Can anyone remember "Bronco" - like hard greaseproof paper?

So Robinio . . . how many squares do these new fangled lavvy rolls have per well roll? do they make a lot of dust? will I still need to take scissors into said closet in order to "tear" along the perforation lines? do they make pink rolls? and for the beneift of another member ~ are they for REAL or for display purposes only?

LOL Rita does that mean in order to get value for money on our loo rolls we need to roll around in them first x

Used first? lol guess they have to test them properly and I'm all for recycling as long as it's soft to the touch x

I could have shown them how to that ,,fold the end and tuck it in the top..

*waits for my 3 million*

actually (by hove) I do try to release the end without tears, or tears. and can do it, *grins*

Ah Izal !!!

I have such fond memories of it.

Not only could you use it for it's intended purpose ......................... but you could also play a tune on your comb with it while you were waiting.

And it was excellent for greaseproof baking.

Welcome back!

That Bronco sounds like the stuff that is still used in far too many public toilets over here- about as useful as wiping your fundament with cling wrap!

Here in the UK cling wrap is already in regular use in selected public toilets.

However I am not too sure whether it is installed by the local council or practical jokers.

Only a man would use bog roll for bakin purposes ~ lol on a recent visit to Ludlow the "toilet" informed us that it was on a timer and had we not finished in the alloted time then the doors would open anyway x
