When you travel extensively,as I do,
the quality of toilet paper can become an issue.
Like my pillow which travels with me,
should I now add a roll of my favourite two ply as well?

Like my pillow which travels with me,

With that in mind,
I recently posed this question:
“Should graded establishments be required to use double ply toilet paper”?
This came to my attention when I discovered single ply in a public toilet
at a venue I was staying in

These were some of the comments I received via my Facebook page.
Simon: 2 ply…3 ply….you in the South clearly have not been experiencing the Cameron Regeneration Austerity Package or
CRAP for short…here we use whatever is at hand, The Sun, Daily Mail, Telegraph

Me:…Thank you for the international angle After SONA recently we might not even have toilet paper..
Alan S: 3ply is a constitutional right. Excuse me, David, but…. (Or should that be butt?)
Me: Thanks Alan. I believe that it IS my constitutional right.
But then again our rights are in the toilet.

Cathie: Are you also debating ‘crush vs fold’?
Me: For the purposes of this forum, we are sticking to 1 v 2 ply Cathie.
The other option opens a whole different can of worms…so to speak.
Renchia: Don’t worry David I work for a toilet paper manufacturing company in Nelspruit…
I will courier you some… please let me have your preference…
2 ply Silky Soft, 1 ply Silky Soft, Premium Delux Soft Virgin,
Recycled paper, Semi-Rejects or zimply just cheap recycled rejects…

Me: Thanks Renchia…could I have one of each for research purposes?
Elaine: Wringing my hands. Oh these 1st world conundrums!
(Seen a few glorious pit loos on the road.)

Me: Me too Elaine…especially on Kilimanjaro.
On my two trips to the summit, I carried my OWN 2 ply!
-
-
- Me: Nicky, not any hotel…every hotel. Local and International.
- But they should NOT have one of these in their toilets.
-
- Me: Pam, next time I fly BA First Class I will investigate.
-
- Me: Yes it is Anthony…my posting, my rules.
-
- Me: True enough. Single ply gets used up TWICE as fast.
-
- Me: Short, sharp and to the point Sharon
-
- Me: Boo, there was NEVER any doubt in MY mind.
-
- Me: Mandy, I thought the Mos Def was a rap singer.
- Unfortunately we are not discussing music here.
-
-
-
- Me: I don’t want to let the 1 and 2 star establishments off the hook Moira.
- Make 2 ply the standard!
-
-
But there may be truth in it.
- Me: Shelly, plumbers are just looking for work. Exercise YOUR right to use 2ply.
- However, I am not referring to home use.
-
- Me: Drienie, I am scared to answer your statement.
-
- But to answer your question any graded establishment using 1 ply BOG ROLL for its guests should be reported to the NAA
- Me: Finally, a serious answer…
-
- Me: Val, we should all insist on 2 ply!
-
- Me: Sam, Would HE demand 2 ply? I think he would.
-
-
-
-
- Me: Brooks, this puts you in the 1% of the VERY privileged.
- You should not even be responding to this.
-
- Me: Jonathan, that is WAY TOO MUCH work.
- See Cathie’s comment re crush v fold.
-
- Me: Douglas, this we understand…but that is not the point.
-
- Me: Pierre, where do I send the invoice for advertising YOUR establishment?
- The one that serves the best chocolate croissants west of Jan Smuts Avenue…
- AND has 2ply toilet paper.
-
- Me: John, on some deep psychological level, probably not
And the next logical debate…
Over or under?
