Teenage red letter day!

From the back, of course! Anything else is just wrong.

And don't even get me started on those dispensers in public conveniences that never have an end free to pull. The time I've wasted heaving a gigantic loo roll around scrabbling desperately about for it. They're worse than ruddy sellotape.

Of course you should let the roll dangle down from the front. You don't want poo-ey dirty fingers touching the wall! (on the second pull)

Yes. Always sort those huge containers out before you sit down.

Oh so glad to see some people hang the roll same way as me. We had a thread about this last year and I think I was the only one who did it " my" way. ann and maggie - we are right, of course.

How come we are back talking crap toilet stuff again?

Bellanonna give me a reason why that way is better?!

maggie

jings - give me a reason why the other way is better ?

maggie and then there is the way they so often fix those huge containers to the wrong wall. There is no space to get past it while you close the door. The door swings in an arc which almost touches the loo and then almost touches the loo-roll container, There is nowhere to stand as it swings past you - unless you climb up on the loo seat.

If they hung it on the other wall, it would be out of the way. I think the installer leans his back against the open door and drills the holes in the wall opposite him. I say "his" intentionally.

Just ready your earlier comment jbf
Depends where yours is hung. Mine's to my left, so NO dirty fingers. I'm right handed.

But... If it's hanging down the wall...

Oh! Never mind!

I just asked DH and he said 'from the front - the other way you could be scrabbling around the wall trying to find the end'.
Of course, I always leave it with the pointy bits a la best hotels
and DH grew his parsnips in the empty holders.

Well done, minibags, I am very impressed, mine never learnt to do that until they left home!

What a great small triumph - I know what you mean!

When I visited my son at uni once there were 19 discarded loo rolls on the floor in the vicinity of the loo!!!

mumofmadboys That sounds like my son's student house in Manchester. It was an appalling mess. We lent them our vax machine to clean up when they left and when we got it back it stank. I don't think any of them had cleaned the floor the whole year.

When my student DS and his 7 partners in grime housemates wanted to get their bond back at the end of a riotous year, he rang me to ask how to clean the only toilet. When I asked him what they'd used all year, there was an ominous silence...

That was Manchester too, Nellie. Did your son's house by any chance have so many dart holes in the front door, you could see daylight shining through?

In his first year DS 2 had an ensuite room in hall. ( indulged, I know) after a few days he rang to ask for extra money to buy cleaning things! The hall room cleaners didn't do the ensuite! At least he was cleaning, I think they fined them for dirt!
