DanielPoulson Mainstay Registered: Fri Oct 26 2007 Posts: 526 Loc: Essex UK	www.healthinajiffy.co.uk/images/andrex%20pink.jpg This place has a picture of some fairly recent coloured paper. I wasn't aware that it had gone out of use, perhaps it hasn't here, or maybe I just don't go shopping enough (I really hate it.) This picture just shows the packet, though, I think. Here is some actual coloured toulet roll: http://www.redferret.net/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/giftwrappedtoiletroll.jpg and you will not believe this one: http://www.gearlog.com/images/13886.jpg Edited by DanielPoulson (Tue Apr 01 2008 05:24 AM) _________________________ "The capacity to care is what gives life its most deepest [sic] significance" - Pablo Casals

I'm with you, Copago, about Government issue TP. I used to complain that my office, instead of purchasing 2 or 3 ply soft tissue, would buy 1-ply sandpaper. _________________________ May the tail of the elephant never have to swat the flies from your face.

I guess I never thought of toilet paper as a way to announce the birth of a child, but I guess it's healthier than a cigar! _________________________ The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other's life.

sue943 Administrator Registered: Sun Dec 19 1999 Posts: 38005 Loc: Jersey Channel Islands	I guess no one told my local supermarket about not having coloured paper - we can still buy it in colours. In fact I have some peachy/apricot right now as they had run out of white in my brand. I never did understand the post which started this thread...

sue943 Administrator Registered: Sun Dec 19 1999 Posts: 38005 Loc: Jersey Channel Islands	I just Googled Andrex which is my preferred brand and see that they have reduced their colour range to four as most people are favouring white. Quote: Andrex also pulls in specific expertise when it needs help with a particular project. For example, when it rationalised its colours last year, it brought in interior designers and colour psychologists to understand the colours today's consumers favour for their bathrooms. “We discovered most consumers have white suites with a pastel complementary colour elsewhere in the bathroom, so we brought our colour range down to four key colours and also made these shades more pastel-ey,” explains Smith. _________________________ Many a child has been spoiled because you can't spank a Grandma!

Quote: Why is it, that the cheaper the toilet paper, the more glue they use? What glue? Sue, I just happenedd to be sitting and thinking one day, you can guess where from the topic, and the new roll of paper I took out of the pack had a blob of glue to stop it unravelling. It wasn't an expensive brand, and the amount of glue they used made it almost impossible to use the first few sheets. The more expensive brands are always easier to begin using. _________________________ Reality is an illusion brought about by lack of alcohol Would the last person to leave the planet please turn off the lights.
