Re: toilet rolls

Always facing away from the wall.. otherwise you're left scrabbling behind it every time someone rips a sheet off. One of my pet hates

Re: toilet rolls

Facing away from the wall, then the wall doesnt get hand marks on it

by that rationale

how would you arrange the said toilet roll
if your toilet happened, by some quirk of fate, to be situated on the actual
equator?

Depending on the way you're facing, or, when parallel to the equator, depending on the hemisphere the table would be on.

Or, whether the toilet roll is laying horizontally or vertically.

hmm - ok


so there you are seated on the equator - facing the same direction as the planet is turning

you have the roll, for sake of argument, in you hands

is it clockwise or counter-clockwise?

(come to think of it if you were in an equatorial country
you'd probably be wiser having about half a dozen rolls)
