And I bet that bog roll was much nicer to use than the repurposed sandpaper we had to use at primary school Jeez, that was rough stuff!
I didn't mind slightly rough as much as the 'grease proof paper' I dreaded encountering in public lavvys up until the mid eighties - maybe it took Andrex to fully encapsulate the idea that more absorbant was better than less - but I fail to grasp the logic that concluded shiny and all but waterproof was a good material for toilet paper.
Didn't so much as clean it off as spread it around more.
