So Hong Kong remains the winner. I notice you are all ignoring our superiority in this respect...

This is all very well on paper! Regardless of the size, it's performance that really counts.

ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ever wondered what men would do without it? Mine would be so lost. LOL

I really hate the mega-cheap brands that are so loosely wound, the cardboard tube slips right out of the middle!

Roughly 11 X 10.4 cm on my bathroom roll. Whatever a centimeter is..

Oh dear, now you've got me started too!
Israeli paper is 11.7 x 10 cm. - maybe it's a Mediterranean thing? Well hey ruler and roll were within arms reach.. then I had to go check the wrapper to see if we imported from Italy... Nope made in Netanya. Well I never felt there wasn't enough but then, OK I'm not going to go into my personal statistics....

Why is there even a discussion on toilet paper. Are you doing a quiz about it or something?

Because we are all stark raving bonkers, that's why! Aren't you glad you found our site?

Must have been a slow day

Hong Kong Bog Roll remains the champ as far as size is concerned.

When I started this I didn't expect it to roll on for so long.

kind of a new related question. Why do places (mainly public toilets) have rollers that don't roll unless you go backwards, and then only a few sheets and then why do they put them on the door where you have no way of reaching it from a sitting position.

OK, so who is going to be the one to create a quiz from this little lot?

There is, of course, the lengthy (oops) thread in the Funtrivia Lounge about the correct way to hang a toilet roll and why. Plus in Tips and Tricks the thread about embroidering toilet rolls. I think we are toilet roll obsessed.

What else is there but the humble date roll?

Toilet paper is (or at least should be) a part of our everyday lives. Wars may not have been fought over this precious commodity, but I can assure you there have been many households all over the world in which the use, restocking and roll-direction of the same-said paper has been the hot topic of an argument or two.

There seems to be something about the smallest room that is able to create the biggest interest.

I do not lose much sleep over this , but I will tell you a dreadful secret. Once , a few years ago now, I was so broke , I had enough money for a very small meal, but had not enough for toilet paper. I stole a whole roll from the spare ones in the Loo at work and took it home. There. It is told. After all these years. Its like an AA meeting. "My name is Ren and I stole a bogroll..."

Sara when I went to visit my son in his student house I was horrified to find one of those HUGE rolls which are supposed to go in a dispenser, obviously liberated from the university.

Something that never ceases to amaze/amuse/astound me is the number of my colleagues who steal the toilet paper from work.

It's government issuetoilet paper, which means, it is cheap and nasty. You need about 77 squares to ensure that your hand is adequately protected from the business end of your person, and if you're not wearing gardening gloves, you run the risk of getting splinters!

For me, good quality toilet paper is a luxury I would be loathe to give up. You can take away my moisturisers, my fancy bath salts, my lush perfumes. But please, oh please, leave me with my Kleenex toilet paper!

And there's me thinking all Australian women were tough talking, rugged, pioneering women - you just shattered the illusion, you big old softy hehehehehe

The smallest toilet paper is used by the SAS when on missions. They use old bus tickets. They fold them in half and the half again and tear of one corner which would give a hole in the centre of the bus ticket when it is unfolded. They then put their finger through the hole and wipe their bums. They then fold the bus ticket round the finger and remove the finger , wiping it as they go. The bit they originally tore off is used to clean their finger nail.

Apologies to anybody who has just eaten

That is one of the daftest and funniest things I have ever heard said about the British SAS roflmao

I really would LOVE to know where you got that little gem from !

A story I have heard many times before but delboy, remember SOTHC is a very good story teller!

I totally agree with that lady!

That little tale had me in hysterics - so much so that I telephoned a few ex SAS friends and asked if they had ever heard it, as I hadn't. I am aware of many of the tales told by SAS - I've told a few myself - but I'd never heard that one before
