Singer Sheryl Crow has said the amount of toilet paper we use should be limited to help the environment.

Crow suggests using "only one square per restroom visit, except, of course, on those pesky occasions where two to three could be required".

Maybe I should have posted this in humour.....?

Well if they adopt this method then I would whole heartedly suggest that nail clippers and nail files are kept beside all toilets ;)

We could do as kings did and use swan necks.
Or maybe I can wipe mine with Crow's neck...

why not just use the three sea shells, that would solve the problem.

Dogs wipe their arses on the grass, so maybe the answer is to grass your bathroom floor :erm:

what they used to do in the war (alledgedly), is to

1. Get 1 square of paper, put it in the palm of your hand.
2. Poke your middle finger though the middle of the paper.
3. When you wipe, use your middle finger to scoop. :shocked:
4. When done, pull the paper over your finger, at the same time wiping your finger clean.
5. Pull pants up and hope for the best. :D (Glad they didn't have KFC in those days). :disturbd:

Sheryl Crow has evidently never been to the Shah Tandoori Restaurant in Port Talbot. You're on a 3-roll minimum with those guys.

Nostalgia nerve tingled when I read this story - I spent many a 'happy' hour tearing the 'Daily Sketch' into neat squares to hang on the hook in the outside lavvy - and felt entitled to use as much as I liked, by dint of that labour. Only posh kids had bronco - the main advantage being there was no print to rub off ;)

May i suggest that for a thorough job, the wet wipe variety are much better and kinder. No job is complete until the paperwork is done !

On a similar thread,,,I do know that certain people are squeamish about going on hols to places like Greece or Turkey and we know why dont we? But think about it, they have the right approach. Dont put anything down the loo that you havent eaten first.

Here in this conutry we do and what happens? It has to be filtered out at the other end. Far better if all such items were bagged and binned instead of being flushed.

Wasn't just the war, 16 years ago at army cadets were were told to do that.
You fold the paper into 4, then tear off the folded corner and keep it safe and clean.
This leaves a hole in the middle of the paper for your finger.
Wipe, then use the tissue to clean off your finger, and the bit you tore off to clean under your fingernail.
Most of us too the other option, plenty of AB or BB (**** blocker or bum blocker) buscuits, that kept you blocked up for days.

Yes, because it's sooo much better to have human excrement lying around the house.

Is that really environmentally friendly? All those plastic bags dumped, which will never degrade, and probably take at least as much energy to produce as using filtration at the sewerage plant?

There's 2 sides to each sheet of loo paper, so why not use one side on your first visit, hang it up, then use the second side on your next visit?

Best solution is to not wipe at all. Just wait for it to harden then pick it off.

Drink a combination of newcastle brown ale and stella artois you will find it comes out in a liquid form, then just use a tea towel. If u still feel damp i always wait till everythings happened then wiggle then stand up and get another bottle.

Reminds me of an old Naked Video sketch where a guy comes out of the gents and bumps into an old pal, shaking his hand.

guy: Oh sorry, am I a wee bit wet still?
pal: yeah, have they run out of paper towels again?
guy: yeah, that's why I did nae bother washing my hands.
