My local Coles has for sale packages of "recycled toilet paper."

I think I know what they mean (or at least I hope I do!) but a name change wouldn't be a bad idea.

Cheers Tony

Out neighbour's baby is using nappies, they are being recycled week after week for at least a year now. The clothesline is endlessly full of recycled nappies!

Some of these toilet rolls should be prefixed with " stickum" Often have to use extra to avoid " stickum"

A plumber who was coming out to unclog toilet once told me not to use recycled toot paper as it caused most cloggages he attended to.

30 deg. today, 24 tomorrow with rain, 14 expected on Monday with possible snow, here in Sheffield, Tassie. Good to see you're still travelling Marj.

A mate of mine was the State Sales Manager for a Toilet Roll Company.

He always claimed that his motto was.

""To keep every bump in Australia clean.""

Mind you, back before toilet rolls were introduced to the household, the local paper torn into 4 pieces and hung on the wall could/ would/ should, did the same job.

No use of using news papers for toilet wipes now days, as they are full of crap when you buy them.

60 years ago when my parents were struggling immigrants, we regularly bought apples which were individually wrapped in tissue paper. We used these tissues as dunny paper.

Old telephone directories were sought after from "City" relatives - so much better than the corn husks.

Saw a bumper sticker recently which said "If you don't like logging to make toilet paper, try plastic."

And I thought Glad Wrap was used to keep food moist in the fridge!
