If you want convenience you have the sheet dropping at the front where you can see and get to it. But if you want it to be awkward and folk having to scramble at the back hoping for the best, then you have the sheet dropping at the back. Unsure how you can get it flat on the roll, the rolls are curved by definition.
Mrs B has an annoying habit of leaving the loo roll with no end to grab it can be put on anyway round so in the middle of the night I’m spinning the roll backwards and forwards like a demented juggler trying to find the end
Talking of the Army, when I was in the RAF it always amused me that every single sheet was stamped GOVERNMENT PROPERTY. I liked to think that each time I used it I was wiping myself with Harold Wilson.
My loo roll holder kept drooping down so the roll kept falling off so I fixed it upwards so the roll is on its end with the open end facing the wall so you have to pull away from the wall.
Jackdaw, I always thought that strange as well, sometimes wondered if I blew my nose on a piece could I be charged for misappropriation of government property.
