The average person spends three whole years of their life sitting on the toilet

Thats alright, because my hands have double that by the time my finger has pushed through the tissue paper bog roll used in a public loo.

Reminds me of the greaseproof paper you were supposed to wipe your backside at school with.

LOL. What was it? San Izal rings a bell for some reason.
 
Yes it was called izal. Iirc it was one of the first products to undergo a pointless name change. Think it was changed to just zal

As a kid it made decent tracing paper
 
And yes its still available albeit without the antiseptic smell.
Who on earth would use this stuff in this day and age.

Sadistic so and so''s:D
 
The Roman army didn’t have toilet paper so they used a water soaked sponge on the end of a stick instead! hope stick wasnt sharp
 
Your right zeb i bet they did if sponges were in low supply ooooch
 
In a typical home, more than 9,000 gallons of water are wasted while running the tap waiting for hot water. As much as 15% of your annual water heating costs can be wasted heating this extra 9,000 gallons.

Not sure on the distance, but if your live within a certain distance of a church you can be forced to pay for its repairs when needed

It's not distance. It applies to properties built on former monastic land that may have chancel repair liabilities. You can take out insurance against it.
 
Ray stafford, to be forced to buy a drink for every member of UKPF as a result of starting a Post that will never end?????
That will teach him:)
 
One of the most popular threads on a plumbing forum has nothing to do with plumbing, but does prove plumbers have far too much pointless facts!
