LET US ALL FLUSH WITH PRIDE

WHO IS USING ALL THE LOO PAPER..?

Most people are pretty squeamish about poo, women especially I cannot help but notice.   When women are staying with me, I know I need to have a good stock of spare loo rolls – at least 3 or 4 – or they get very nervous and paranoid about their dreaded “fear of running out of loo paper”..! (foroolp)  And that’s exacerbated by the fact that women seem to use so much of the stuff..!  When I’m on my own a single roll lasts me up to 2 weeks, as I am particularly parsimonious with paper.  I just hate the thought of all those nice pine forests going down the gurgler, so my method is to take just 3/4 sheets (no pun) depending on paper thickness and fold it into a triangular wad, and repeat a few times if necessary.   But, judging from the frantic whirring sounds one often hears in the adjacent cubicle when at the airport loos, many men are also doing their best to block the pipes.  Recently I joined in a FB discussion about toilets and the dreaded FOROOLP.  When I suggested using a spare face cloth dipped in warm water, one woman blew a fuse, screaming hysterically “you would have to burn it after..!” to which I replied “do you burn your knickers when you get a poo smudge on them?”.  She was so incensed she reported my comment to the mods who deleted it..!

But this is not about loo paper but re-cycling our poo.  There are much better uses for human poo than flushing it down the drain.

We need to learn to love our No2’s by making them work for us – and Oasis Cities would make that ambition so much easier.
