Good job you got your act together or the whole crew could have been wiped out... (There is more than a hint of the old Cheech & Chong 'Tactical Women's Alert Team' joke in there somewhere).
Kitchen roll, wet wipes and newspaper can cause "major blockages" for homes and businesses, say water firms. Drains and sewers are in danger of becoming blocked as people use wet wipes, paper towels - and possibly even newspaper - because they can't find loo roll at the supermarket. Coronavirus: Water firms issue blockage warning as people use toilet paper 'alternatives'
Seen a few people picking up multiple copies in the morning of the free Metro paper available on the London Underground and around large UK towns
So, the government advised everyone to sneeze into their elbow instead of their hands. This resulted in people rushing out to buy toilet paper and sneezing into that. This clearly shows, people don't know their arse from their elbow. Graham.
Buteman, You should be safe in future. Supermarkets are banishing the elderly to their own dedicated hour for shopping. Mike

Are the days of “bucket and chuck it” coming back? I remember, many years ago now, my Scoutmaster issuing only three sheets per visit to the latrine when on camp...one up, one down and one to polish! This was in the days of the Izal toilet paper which didn’t “grip” too well. For those too young to know, Izal was a bit like tracing paper. I wonder it this contributed to my piles in later life?! Now off to find some dock-leaves...... Lionboxer
I'm sure that Liverpool fans will not be taking much notice of our PM. I did come across a link from the Liverpool Echo newspaper that he refused to apologise for the Hillsborough slurs of which (some smart chap will provide.) I've a Uncle who was at Hillsborough,& the Heysel Stadium disaster. Cause: Riots? Getting him to talk about either over the years has been near on impossible. He did mention that when he got back to the hotel after the Heysel Stadium disaster that his suitcase had been thrown out of the window. Has for the shelf-ish people who are stripping the shelves bare then they should be ashamed of themselves. Me, me, society. Why do they need so much toilet roll? Edit: whilst we are taking the rise about different types of shit roll.. People are losing jobs. I forgot to mention that. Regards, Stu.
The 'Green' method is to use cut up old rags. After use place in a bucket of water next to the toilet to soak. Then wash and re-use. Most people would say yuk, but I think it's a good idea.
BBC Radio 4 - Did the Victorians Ruin the World?, Series 1, Toilets It's the most celebrated period of British ingenuity, but are our Victorian forebears due a rethink? Sci-curious sisters Kat and Helen Arney are on hand with some revisionist revelations that could turn what we think we know completely upside down. Was the water-based toilet the pinnacle of 19th century hygienic invention, or did the Victorians literally flush away our most precious resource? Why did they choose the water closet over the alternatives that were available to them - the Earth Closet and the Air Closet? And was there a Fire Closet too (or was that just the result of that other great Victorian import, the curry?). Helen and Kat are holding their noses and diving in. Helen Arney is a presenter and comedian, and Dr Kat Arney is a writer and broadcaster who has published a book on genetics. A Hat Trick production first broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in April 2017.
Still so much comparative mention of Chinese death figures out there. Because, of course, you can always trust figures from authoritarian regimes. Only 31 people died at Chernobyl y'know...
