Hi Terry
what's wrong with a newspaper page torn in four pieces with a bit of string holding it up ?
Even better nowadays they use a far superior ink.
I still remember that and the outside kharzies.
Happy days.

Always reminds me of the Billy Connoly joke. Guy sat in the public loo, hears the guy next door come in and sit down, presently the guy says, excuse me mate, could you pass me some toilet roll under the partition, there's none in here ?, the first guy says , sure mate, tears off a few strips, and passes them under the partition, guy no2 then stands on his hand and pinches his watch. I know its an oldy, kt

When you think of the countries that always have bidets, is it a sign of laziness or national habits that they are not more widely used.

I remember on the Indian coast, anchored out, and having to clear under the deck so the shore gang could cook their own food on the deck, and having to rig a stage over the side as a toilet, and they always had a long string and a small tin, so they could wash themselves after using the toilet, kt

[Chris Allman]

Yes Keith, we had to rig the toilet platforms on the stern quarter quite often when anchored out and loading or discharging from lighters. I remember having to hose the dam things down when the cargo work stopped each day. If you did not they stank to high heaven and were covered in bits of you know what. Although in one port some of the stevedores ( to be Polite ) did it down the hawser pipe, so when we hove in the anchor there was spots of you know what flying everywhere as we hosed down the cable.

We had to cross the street to get to ours, not very nice on a winter night or Fridays or Saturdays (street was the main route to village chippy), my father made an oil lamp out of an old golden syrup tin, wick and glass shield from miners lamp spares , clamped onto horizontal part of the water pipe to overhead cistern, not so much to give light but to stop from freezing in winter.

Three weeks in drydock in Skaramanga, despite a set of about 8 toilets craned onto deck, we were finding crap everywhere for weeks after sailing.
After two months almost the smell in the steering flat was found to come from a "load" someone left and then placed a 40 gallon drum of lube oil on top.

I went into Sainsburys yesterday,
every food shelf had loads of food,. the Toilet paper shelves were completely empty

What the hell do they all want the paper for? The Paper Manufacturers must be clapping their hands with glee, at the sales going up.
Should buy Shares in Toilet rolls.make a fortune.,
