I like that saying Baz.

Recognise this - and put yourself FIRST.

You're a mug if you don't. Seriously.
I can see where you're coming from but no, I refuse to be a part of that. Maybe I'm old-fashioned or even quaint, I suppose, but I have my barmy standards and I'll stick to them.

Even worse if you try and use the 'Sunday supplements' of publications,
some may be stapled!

A great idea, for them, but not so good for the ordinary human who used it next!

Asians in particular find our habit of sitting on a seat where other people have put their backside rather disgusting.

Likewise the idea of smearing shit all over their bum with a piece of paper is equally disgusting. On the latter I tend to agree with them, long ago I fitted a bidet spray to the side of my toilet - far more hygienic.

I have a shower every morning and every evening, if it is a hot day and I am busy I might have several during the day as well.

I have a water meter but at $2 a kilolitre who cares? 90% of my water bill is sewerage and standing charge.

Re: Are you stocking up just in case?

I can understand, to a point, stocking up on hand sanitizer, wipes, food for a fortnight.

Can someone explain to me the loo paper obsession which seems to be prevalent?

Where are they storing it all? I won't be surprised to find photos online of chairs made of it stacked up and covered with a throw!

I buy a 24 roll pack in Tesco about once a month, it's the best value I find.
I'm down to about six rolls and would feel uncomfortable replacing them if others couldn't buy some. I'll wait until they're nearly all gone.

Is there something about this virus I don't know about? Is my irritable bowel about to get more aggressive?
